I was expecting great things from this absurd Nic Cage and Sion Sono collaboration. The premise is excellent: Nic Cage is an outlaw in a Wild West kind of city in post-atomic Japan, where samurais and cowboys seem to coexist. He must save the governor’s favorite bitch while wearing a bodysuit that might make his testicles explode one at a time. Fifteen minutes in, and I was already in heaven. Too bad that the rest of the movie is a muddled mess of incomprehensible dialogue and a couple of poorly choreographed action scenes. Such a wasted opportunity.
