This film was apparently one of two films set on the premise to be made about two people to fight in a single setting with only one to live on (along those lines anyhow). Markedly different to its peer, which was essentially about two girls in a cat fight in their modern apartment, this film is set in an old medieval temple where the host to an injured soldier turns out to be not the welcoming gentleman he at first seemed.
This short film builds up to the battle scene between the host and the guest, with manga style movement, music and camera work. Nauseating at times, it is quite intriguing, and out-Tarantino's Quentin himself. Yet there is really no storyline, and the director could have done better if he didn't have any of the modern MTV music playing, but left it more Mediaeval.
Overall, it is nothing special although not too bad either, but really there is little to talk about the hour or so of this. Good ideas, but a little less ambition could have done it a whole world of good. I guess though that the PS2 generation will lap it up more than the rest of us (has a very strong video game feel to it).
