robhuck Review of Six-String Samurai

Six-String Samurai (1998)

One of the most intolerable movie-going experiences of my life.

[1/10 · 24 September 1998]

I cannot say enough bad things about this film. It was the most unpleasant theatrical experience of my life, never before have I so badly wanted to get up and leave the theater. It was even worse than Kazaam. The script was about 15 pages long, most of which consisted of "Buddy (the main character) meets bad guys, they fight. Buddy meets more bad guys, they fight", and the fight scenes are amateurish at best. The acting is horrible, there is no plot or character development, and there isn't a single laugh in the film. I could accept all of these problems if the main character had been cool, like Ash in "Evil Dead 2", but I spent the whole movie hoping Buddy would die. I have read on certain internet movie news pages that this film is the next "Evil Dead" or "Escape from New York". Don't believe a word of it. This film is not funny. This film is not exciting. This film is not fun. Avoid it at all costs.
