but has some distinct and well-thought-out stylistic flourishes. So I would recommend it, but with some reservations.
I'll add The Good, the Bad and the Weird to my list too. Thanks.
I'm getting tired of cowboy kung fu flicks frankly. They used to be innovative, but they've gone passe. I wrote a short article on the topic way back when Shanghai Noon dropped. Man, that was over a decade ago. There's a new one picking up buzz called Shangdown: Way of the Spur. Seems like more of the same to me.
