You didn't get it

Rating this film in the 6's is a travesty. I can see how most viewers may not have picked up on the reflexivity, the subtle way in which the 6 mercenary characters almost knew they were in a film... maybe a lot of people found it boring at times... I can imagine an American moviegoer who finds the plot a bit to convoluted... hell, it's not perfect, I mean Juliet Lewis has certainly had less obnoxious roles... But you couldn't have missed the elegantly photographed and painstakingly arranged gunfight sequence, or the top notch performances from most of the cast, or the intelligent writing. There is a degree of craft in this film that reflects a great deal of care and artistic integrity, qualities that are all too seldom rewarded in our countries film industry. 6.7? BULLs***. Cmon, people.
