The prolific Takashi Miike co-wrote and directed this strikingly postmodern remake of Sergio Corbucci's 1966 Spaghetti Western, IDjango/I. The story is much the same, but the highly stylized fusion of Japanese gangsterism and operatic musings on the Western form makes for a wild and unexpected cult movie. Still, there is not much here beyond the film's relentlessly creative surface, making ISukiyaki/I a bit wearying. Feuding for centuries, the Genji and Heiki clans both arrive in a 19th century Nevada town, determined to find hidden treasure rumored to be there. In the midst of their fighting comes a solitary gunslinger (Hideaki Ito) courted by each clan to work for them. When he refuses, the cross-currents of betrayal and murder escalate, and hidden truths behind at least one tragedy, and the real identity of an unlikely shooter, come to the surface. The film's energy, dynamic camerawork and almost tongue-in-cheek performances are fun and admirable, and Miike has a fascinating sense of composition. The story gets a little soft just past the halfway point and Miike attempts to fill the void with exhausting new ways of filming bloody mayhem for its own sake. Quentin Tarantino has a small role as a mystery man with a link to these events. I--Tom Keogh/I

 Weird and Awesome November 18, 2008
Jim Goings (Hillsboro, OR United States)
I've only seen a handful of spaghetti westerns and enjoyed about half of them. This film is an obvious interpretation of that genre taken to a new level. br / br /Essentially a Japanese samurai movie set in a western style Nevada desert town. The production team and cast consisted of mostly Japanese talent (Quinten Tarrantino is the exception), but they are all speaking english (not dubbed). br / br /The film is funny, full of blood, and full of over-the-top martial arts and Shakespearean tragedy. Overall a fun romp through two genres mashed together. br / br /The blu-ray transfer is terrific, although the film has a very stylized treatment. The video looks great, but the audio is what I noticed the most. Excellent use of surround channels and good placement of effects.
 Miike Takashi Spaghetti Western in Broken English-HOT! November 12, 2008

I watched it twice in a row. Artistic, colorful and in the grove with Suzuki's work like Pistol Opera; but this western is more stylishly western than any other Japanese film of this period. Cheesy Kabuki comic book look is hypnotic. Story is fun. A/V quality of BD is great! TrueHD power and Hi Resolution in all it's glory! br /WARNING: Graphic use of grain and paper moon may upset limited observers.

I am so happy this thing is being released on Blu-ray (just got a ps3)!!From what I've gathered this is going to be a two-disker, i's going to have BD Live Special Features like access to exclusive making of features, trailers and more! There should be deleted scenes too. I am stoked and can't wait to play this baby in 1080p!!!! br /
