FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

hrkepler 'Six-String Samurai' is nice quirky action adventure where main hero with guitar skills like Buddy Holly and martial arts skills like Bruce Lee, tries to reach into Lost Vegas (Las Vegas) to become the new King. Low budget action romp with lots of heart. The film never takes itself seriously, but it doesn't fall into (self)parody. Also, this films shouldn't be taken as parody of martial arts genre, rather than a humble homage. Another strong side of 'Six-String Samurai' is that it establishes it's own rules at the very beginning at stays true to them till the very end, thus making lot of absurdity believable in the frames of it's own universe.It was intended to be a trilogy and it is actually sorry that we never could see the sequels. Or Jeffrey Falcon (who was also screenwriter for 'Samurai') to act any other films after that.P.S. Title of my review refers to Buddy Holly and Toshiro Mifune.

taguilar87 Pathetic that this was actually made. I don't even know how this had a 2 million dollar budget. I can appreciate a film that was bad but genuine in trying to create a original movie. This movie on the other hand, was vexing each progressive minute. I cannot imagine the person that green lighted this project to still have a career or a reputation. I can only imagine the judges at the Slamdance Film Festival were paid off or on drugs when they recognized this piece of trash. If you don't believe this review go on youtube and check clips of the movie yourself. You'll thank me before spending any amount of money on this truly God awful indulgent film.

"That" Keith First, the bad stuff. The film will not appeal to people who can't deal with camp, with pure Lynch-like strangeness, or people who demand a big budget production.However, those who are willing to give an oddball film a chance will find this to be a real gem of an indie flick. Imagine if you will Buddy Holly, Mad Max, and Jet Li bundled into one character, fighting across a desolate warped postapocalyptic Nevada. The dynamics in the movie are all about conflict... Rock & Roll against Metal, Communism against Capitalism, bravery versus despair. Mix that in with "Weird West" touches, demented nuclear families, and warriors who duel with both blade and guitar. There is even a hint of the manga, "Lone Wolf and Cub" thrown in. That and some excellent Russian-influenced rockabilly.Some of the scenes fall flat, sure... but few movies try to reach for such imaginative and demented heights... and few succeed to this extend on a shoestring budget. Despite its shortcomings, the action sequences are exciting and well-done, and one really sees an American Apocalypse which never was -- but in some ways happened, in our heads, at least.

tastymeatbag ...or should that be offal? The movie is so bad, it's hard to tell where to start. The premise is interesting, and there are parts that look good...or would, if the sound wasn't horrible.I realize that the movie is trying to be lighthearted, but the sound is so awful that it totally detracts from the movie. From poorly dubbed voices to a soundtrack that NEVER seems to stop, I felt several times that I would enjoy the movie more if I just muted the movie.The direction is bad as well. Camp is fine, Evil Dead shows how great it can be. However, there is no humor in the movie, unless you enjoy stupid "fast forward" type gags of people running around.The film could have been promising, but the director seemed to undermine the premise at every turn. It's unfortunate that it can't be accurately described here, but I'll once again try an analogy: Live action GI Joe, crossed with really really bad kung fu movies, attempting coolness, but comes off as a high school level effort. Avoid at all costs.
