This movie is a no account grimy western that thinks reading depravity into historical settings is profound. The only good thing about this movie is its Leonard Cohen score, but that even clashes with the overall tone of the film. This film is an unmitigated disaster.

This movie has an amazing style somewhere between Sin City and Edward Scissorhands, but it’s plot and execution is so wildly ill-advised that it’s surprising it got made. It serves as a warning to anyone attempting to make a film that purports to be for children in its intellectual property, style, and tone, but insists on including mistreatment and exploitation of women in a gritty gangster plot.
