7/10
A fine, hypnotic Western
6 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I picked up this film for $5 I and I've played it at least 5,000 times since! I think it's shot in an alternate reality. why do I say this? Read on:

Apalousa is a strange land where sticks of dynamite NEVER explode.

In Apalousa Sartanna can only shoot people in groups of three. _Also, in this mysterious town, a mine owner can hire a band of crooks to rob the stage coach EVERY week, but the Mines don't think to hire their own transport?

Of course, there is always the utter coolness of Sartanna's friend Sabbath. He's an obviously gay gunslinger who is also a force to be reckoned with. I love it when he blows out the knees off the low-rent psycho Flint Fawcett, then tells him he doesn't know how to bow to a lady.

Probably the coolest scene is the "Talismanic Poker Scene" where Sarthnh, Sabbath, Trixiei and Samuel start with a $5 ante, yet end up with about ten grand on the table - after playing just one hand!

Oh, and to add to the coolness, all the main characters have their own theme music! Neat-0!
