imagine an american western drown in spaghetti sauce and chew up and regurgitate by a japanese . that pretty much what happen here . sukiyaki western django take place in an alternate universe where nineteenth century nevada be populate entirely by the japanese and the only white man around be quentin tarantino . this be colorful ( figuratively and literally ) and action pack with great production value but the whole thing just too gimmicky and cute for it own good . like seemingly all japanese movie these day and it self indulgent a hell . this try hard to be a cult film by pander to film nerd and fanboys and the most easily impressed people on the planet . this wasn not thrill or excite and i never really connect to any of it character and probably due to the language problem . have all the actor speak simplified english be a mistake . this would have be well dub or in japanese with subtitle . hell and i have to turn on the subtitle anyway . what i would really like to have see be director takashi miike attempt to make a real western with an american cast . it would probably be good than the one ang lee attempt . go watch the real django .
