“The fourth feature film from director Jiang Wen (best known for his 2000 film Devils on the Doorstep) infuses samurai inspired comedy with classic Western flairs like train robberies, crime lords, and the oppression of small town communities in need of new law. For the most part, it’s an entertaining effort worth the rather lengthy running time.”
