Reviews for Six-String Samurai
Will remain an obscure and sequel-less cult classic, having achieved that status out of sheer weirdness rather than greatness.
So here's two good performers and a good idea, gorgeous camera work....and nothing else. The idea was funny but I thought it was executed poorly at times.
