Bad casting, bad acting and bad writing! You have a movie here that could have been good it is by no means a new plot. It is a plot that has been done dozens of times. They tried to change it, but they failed they never gave you the back story of the people who lived in the village. The hero was weak and too small to play the tough guy. Also, we had no idea what his back story is he says he avenged himself, but we don't know if it was in the war or where it what happened. He would never have beaten and stabbed the guy he was fighting the guy had at least 6 inches on him and was well rested were the hero had been digging graves all day. Him overpowering him was not believable. The father and daughter we know nothing about. To recap keep the villagers give them a back story get and actor who is 6 feet tall or get bad guys who are 5 foot 7 inches tall. I am sorry to disappoint some of you, but the leading lady was NOT hot. Most of her close-up scenes she looked like she had a mustache. I started to wonder if she was really a man who now lives as a woman. The ending was awful showing golden statue sticking out of the ground. Again, the writer took too much liberty. If the statue had been sticking up that much it would have been found. Trying to make it look like the rain did it was lazy writing it had only been raining let's say and hour no let's say 3 hours that is still not long enough to erode the soil and make what look like 12 to 18 inches long sticking out ! This could have been a goof story if the writer actually new westerns and how villagers acted to strangers coming in to there town.
