The Good, The Bad, The Weird [2008]

Director Kim Ji-woon's bizarre and highly entertaining Western film The Good, The Bad, The Weird is a wonderful delight front to back.
There's some obvious nods to the classic western genre, humorous action set pieces that reminds me of the outrageous choreography of the Pirates Of The Caribbean series and outlandish, yet strangely human performances that all make up for some pretty damned good fun.
If it's a thought provoking character-driven story, I might go elsewhere.  This is just good fun and attempts to be nothing more.
