Review of Kiltro (2006) by Mike M — 27 Apr 2008
This film was fantastic, fresh, original and well-done. This film is an interesting blend of spaghetti western (by way of Jodorowsky) and chop-socky kung-fu films. The score is reminiscent of the work of Ennio Morricone and some of the visual style is surreal and seems to echo "El Topo".
The fight scenes are well done, though they do employ some over-the-top cartoon gore. There are novel weapons, including a claw-handed cane/sword and spur-like knives. It is not an incredibly original story, drawing as it does from "Star Wars" and others, but it is interestingly operatic, which again is well-supported by a wonderful score.
Do not expect a lot of depth, but do expect to be entertained, and, at times, even awed.
