Granted it looks like they (Takeshi Miike and his editors) thrust Tarantino into the foreground to sell this hyper-stylized chop-socky Western to American audiences, when in actuality it seems like he has a small narrator part, but either way… it makes us cringe a little bit. Not a good look. We’ll be honest, we don’t really know much about this film, but by the looks of it, we assume it has something to do with “Django,” a Spaghetti Western directed by Sergio Corbucci in 1966. The title track of which is one of our favorite Ennio Morricone songs and also a track we fittingly, but unknowingly put out our If I Were Quentin Tarantino playlist by ear only. But Quentin is a ham and can’t act for shit. Leave him behind the camera, even for the smallest parts. His appearance here however brief threatens to derail and steal what could be a decent genre homage.
