Yang, the world's finest swordsman, packs it in and leaves Japan to find an old friend in the Wild West rather than kill the infant queen of a rival clan. He carries the baby to his friend's desolate, broken-down town; the friend has died, so Yang reopens a laundry and settles down, hanging wet clothes, growing flowers, raising the infant, and finding himself attracted to Lynne, a red-haired woman with a tragic past. As long as Yang keeps his sword sheathed, his rivals won't find him, but a band of reprobate gunmen terrorize the town and threaten Lynne. Showdowns are inevitable, but once the sword is drawn, can Yang find rest, a home, and a family?

| Illinois TimesCharles KoplinskiSucceeds in cutting out a distinct visual flourish amid a bland cinematic landscape. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightAided by a wonderfully ersatz spaghetti western score, Lee's cranked-to-11 curio is a shameless, sharply written (secondary villain Danny Huston gets an exit line for the ages), thankfully unironic chunk of fun. |
| Boston HeraldBrett MichelAs awkward a fusion as the title is generic. |
| Film.comEric D. SniderThe film's details suggest potential for a lively, bizarre, action-comedy cult classic. It just never comes together the way it needs to. |
| The eXileEileen JonesStylized multi-genre films look easy when they work, when the Coens or Stephen Chow or Quentin Tarantino's in the house, but we mustn't kid ourselves. Nothing dies more horribly onscreen than a failed effort of this kind. |

| VarietyJoe LeydonA visually inspired multi-genre amalgamation, a borderline-surreal folly that suggests a martial-arts action-adventure co-directed by Sergio Leone and Federico Fellini. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickPerhaps this was a video game or a straight action flick this would have been a better movie. |
