Yes he is in the states. The distribution of the film has been very limited.

It is only playing on one theater here in Salt Lake.

great movie...kinda hard to follow at parts...like how did the french dude suddenly become a crazy axe wielding maniac?

 

[Juniper]

Good movie imo. Except that the beast looked kinda fake at times.

That wierd prostitute chick raised him from the dead... I think.

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and it REALLY pissed me off. It was a cool idea, cool story, but with enough problems to make me dislike it:
#1: The overly cliche kung fu Indian. The only thing they didn't have him do is hold up his hand and say "how", then pass the peace pipe. And then the make up and loin cloth part.. WTF? Where did that come from?

#2: The WORST DIRECTING EVER. "Look, the camera is showing cool slow mo.. NOW IT'S FAST!... now it's slow.... AND HERE'S WHERE I MADE IT FAST! I am cool and creative!" Nice cinematography (sp?), but the director should have been shot.

#3: Pick and idea and stick with it. The movie starts as horror, then goes to action, then to drama, then to adventure, then back to adventure, then... I mean good god. It's cool having variation, but this movie couldn't figure out what it wanted to be. In the end, it was about an adventurous French guy that comes back from the dead and axe fights some wierd sword guy to avenge the death of his kung fu indian friend to stop a crazy beast from eating children so he can get with this b1tchy chick that was being hit on by her brother, the wierd sword guy that...

Yea, I know...seems like his kung-fu was even better than the Indian guy. Why did he even leave the his sidekick alone and let the guy get killed anyway?

I saw this a couple weeks ago. It was pretty good, not exceptional though. The director wanted to do a movie that wasn't like any other, so he incoporated a lot of genres into it. He had a French cinematographer, a Hong Kong action choreographer, and American direct (I think). The ending fight scene is cool. The sword reminds me of Ivy's sword from Soul Calibre. I was kinda pissed that Mani died though; I thought he'd be kickin more ass. Hopefully this movie will get Mark Dacascos (he played Mani) noticed. He has many great movies, although all of them are B movies. Check out "Only the Strong" and "Drive". Mid 90s movies, but still great rentals. I saw him perform at a rec center in Portland and he was damn good. Wish I would've gotten his autograph.

 

[amnesiac]

The movie was 2 and a half hours of solid whoop-ass. Good enough for me.

 

[busmaster11]

I really enjoyed the movie. Mark Descascos was good in it, and not, I'm sure he had some theatre-grade movies before - he was in the TV series "The Crow"... I'm prolly going to get the DVD...

 

[busterG]

Is the movie in french?
It never opened at my local theater.

man that prostitute chick was so hot. But it looks like she resurrected Mani's soul into the french guy. He went from standing WAY back using a rifle to killing people with his bare hands and tomahawk. The movie kinda went down hill after Mani's death.

 

[Platypus]

A perfect example of a good idea raped by useless CGI and a foolish plot with ridiculous twists and turns.

 

[glen]

IT is not a perfect movie.
But, heck, it is great.
If you don't like this movie, then what movie currently out do you like?

thanks for the spoiler you bastard, you could have at least put a warning although now it kinda makes me wanna see it lol

 

[Jfur]

I like how they put it in the context of French history -- it added a lot to the movie. Did he die -- or was he poisoned to mask vital signs and then brough "back to life?" I like Mani's loincloth We ladies need something to look at, too!

She was a spy and assasin but we never find out who she worked for.

my interpretation of this convoluted plot is that the so-called prostitute was some kind of chief spy acting on behalf
of the ruling catholic heirarchy (whether that of the archbishop in all of france or rome, same difference as far as i
can tell) who leads a clandestine troupe of do-gooders against another clandestine troupe of evil-doers. the monster
is a political weapon that the later (evil) group uses against the religious hypocrites of the old catholic regimes, king,
church, and all sympathetic aristocrats. their are numerous holes that do not deserve too close inspection. for example,
was the monster originally created to subvert the social order and bring on revolution ? if the monster is evil, as it obviously
appears to be, does the director criticize the forces that brought on the french revolution and align himself with the
established catholic order of the day as not being as demoniacal as their critics would portray them ?

I totally love the weird prostitute/assasin/spy girl. Best scene in the movie is that transition from her snowy hills to the other snowy hills.

There's a medicine I've heard of that actually puts you into a comatose state; slows down your heart rate, almost undetectable, etc etc... I think that's what she fed him.
