In 1870, a Japanese ambassador travels across the American West by train with a ceremonial sword intended for the U.S. president. After bandits steal it and betray one of their own, a samurai and an outlaw are forced into an uneasy partnership to recover the weapon and pursue the gang leader.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like playful westerns, samurai adventures, mismatched partnerships, and colorful action; Not for you if you want realism, tight pacing, or a serious dramatic tone.
