I rented it but gave up after half an hour (and I'm a Bruce
Willis fan). It's a bad updated version of _Yojimbo_, and a
close adaptation of _Red Harvest_ would probably be a lot
more interesting. _Roadhouse Nights_
(1930) is an adaptation of the novel, apparently, but I have
no idea what it's like. Has anyone here seen it?
