With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who root for the clever crook and anime fans. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. Sits nicely alongside Silverado. Made in the anime tradition: bold, emotional and willing to go dark.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 44 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
The good, the bad, and the drop-dead gorgeous. The train en route to Sunshine Hill City holds six very deadly and beautiful women. In the days of stagecoaches, cowboys, and highway robbery. On this particular day when a steam-train hauling valuable cargo is hijacked by rogue bandits, it's up to 6 female strangers to save the day. These ladies prove that you don't have to be a man to stop the bad guys.
