Fun, weird ass punk rock western, 14 January 2005
8/10
Author: ObDewlla-X from United States

This is a completely weird punk rock western from the director of "Repo Man". If you like Repo Man, you'll probably like this. Don't expect anything normal, though. This is completely out there, probably the weirdest movie I've ever seen.

It's hard to describe the plot, but it's about a bunch of gangsters who hide out in a bizarre ghost town in Mexico (Spain?). A bunch of punk rockers and indie heroes are in this movie, so it's worth watching for that alone, as well as the beautiful photography. If you're not into weird stuff, don't bother, but if you like bizarre comedies, this is the one to see. And if you like Sergio Leone, give it a look. This is the worst review ever written, sorry.
