a5c7b9f00b In a post-apocalyptic world where the Russians have taken over a nuked USA and Elvis is king of Lost Vegas, "Six-String Samurai" chronicles the tale of Buddy, a hero who's a '50s rocker and wandering warrior rolled into one, too-cool package. Armed with his six-string in one hand and his sword in the other, Buddy is on his way to Vegas to succeed ElvisKing. Along the way, he saves an orphan who decides to play tag-along to his rescuer. What follows is the road trip from hell.
In the post-apocalyptic world of 1960s Nevada, a rock 'n' roll samurai on his way to Lost Vegas takes a young orphan boy under his protectionDeath and his metalhead Horsemen chase after them.
After watching this film I've come to the conclusion that it's one of the worst I've ever seen. <br/><br/>So you have a samurai with a six-stringed guitar on a quest to Lost Vegas to take the throne that the King has left behind on his deathbed. So does everyone else though - even Death himself!<br/><br/>Now, that paragraph is perfectly accurate. What is described sounds like a pretty cool movie. But in a concept and a setting ripe with potential for making a standout movie on a tight budget, it was failure after failure after failure. On a few occasions, it simply snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.<br/><br/>So I'll list the problems in order of the severity in which they harm the film:<br/><br/>1. Pacing. It's God-awful. Fast when it should be slow, slow almost all the time - it just drags and drags and drags. A half-way competent editor could have been a lot of help here.<br/><br/>2. Acting. Budget films don't have a lot of choice when it comes to choosing a cast, but there's no point in using people that just don't care about the role and couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. Pretty much every actor throughout the entire movie seemed to be thinking <br/><br/>"Hmmm… Hope we can finish this up quick and get some lunch. I'm starving. The SO is in town this weekend… Wonder what we'll do?"<br/><br/>And pay that more attention to what they were doing on screen. I felt like I didn't want to be there and it didn't look like most of them did either.<br/><br/>3. Attention to detail: There were jarring parts where you'd see a 1980's Ford 150 van, in a brilliant blue (probably normal blue, but brilliant in comparison to the super-dingy tonal palette around it).<br/><br/>Or a modern windmill farm in a post-apocalyptic world; there were plenty of old-school electricity generating windmills from the 1930's they could base some designs on, but… No.<br/><br/>4. Poor editing: Non-synchronous sound? In a finished product?! This is not a hard thing to fix. It didn't seem like an 'artistic use of non-synchronous sound', to quash that idea before it can rise.<br/><br/>5. Narrative structure: Almost completely useless; a skimpy plot, random fight scenes, no build up, no pacing - pretty much the mayonnaise and American cheese sandwich of plots - bland and foul all at the same time, and it couldn't be filling if it tried.<br/><br/>In conclusion, it seems like a student film with a slightly larger budget, but on all the things that count, it just becomes a waste in the end; a waste of the viewer's time, a waste of the money used in the project; and a waste of the director's time. This might be a turd that could be polished, or totally re-shot in the future, butit stands… It's just a dog pile.
***Warning: Contains mild spoilers***<br/><br/>Well, what can you say about this picture? Does it have good acting? Certainly not. Does it have a good story? No. Is it watchable? Strangely, it is (once anyways).<br/><br/>The micro-formula for the movie can be reduced to this: Hero finds kid and tries to get rid of him. Kid is thereby brought into a position where he will be in danger from random weirdly dressed group. Kid screams. Hero returns and dispatches group with repeated (and repetitive) sword action. Hero wants to leave. Kid screams. Kid finds some random form of transportation, fixes it and is taken along by hero. Cut to 'Death' group, that chases our hero, killing some random guy.<br/><br/>Rinse. Repeat. (Ad nauseam)<br/><br/>So why did I not turn it off after the third or fourth repetition? Simply because I wanted to find out what weirdly dressed up group would enter next.<br/><br/>The music is strange. Swordfighting to boogie or polka feels…weird. The music used in Quentin Tarantino flicks for similar scenes is 'fitting' by comparison. The dialog (what little there mercifully is of it) isn't worth listening to. Some of it even doesn't make sense given the 'history' they had set up in the opening credits. The kid, thank god, only screams and doesn't talk too much else.<br/><br/>Not to spoil the climax or anything, but did anybody else think the resolution to the final fight was bizarre? At that point I might have suspected that the movie was supposed to be a spoof - if it had been funny at any other time prior to that.<br/><br/>So I'll give it a 4/10. You can rent and watch it once. The movie will probably be -barely- worth the fee for you.
