The Man with a Shotgun Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
GUENOT PHILIPPE One more Seijun Suzuki movie that I could purchase, but unfortunately without subtitles. So, as usual, I will do my best to explain or simply talk about this movie. It takes place in the jungle, in the mid fifties, early sixties, and the hero, the main lead, as the title says, is a loner carrying a shotgun and walking through the countryside, from time to town. At first sight, we can consider it as a sort of Japanese western scheme. The loner is not a cow boy but a man carrying a rifle and defending a poor singing girl in a cheap village cafe, a chick who is molested by a bunch of men. And the bad guys are not cattle barons and their henchmen but local Yakuzas whom our hero will be up against. One surprising sequence where the lead sings with an accordion. Beautiful settings among the mountains and the woods which look like Wyoming. Worth watching.
