Yojimbo close?
I haven't seen this film and shall no doubt be criticised for my comments by posters who have, but from the descriptions this seems to me to be Miike's take on the Kurosawa classic Yojimbo, which was itself re-made as the spaghetti western " A Fistful of Dollars". It is no bad thing to be inspired by Kurosawa so that is not intended to be a criticism. I would like to say that I like most of Miike's films, especially The Happiness of the Katakuris which is totally bonkers in the way that only Japanese films can be. Anyway, this film sounds interesting so I shall look out for the DVD.
