Have you seen the whole movie?

Looks like an Asian actor playing an outlaw in the wild west.
Cowboys have never really been my thing (or most movies for that matter), so I doubt I'll see it.

I've seen the whole thing

Its not exactly the "west". Its a western-style movie but the movie takes place in Manchuria,China in the 1930's.

Heres a list of my favorite Asian movies so far

- Oldboy (Steven Spielberg is planning a remake of the very original which is the comic version)
Edit:Oldboy is a hate it or love it movie. If you don't mind violence and sex and you are capable of actually watching the movie without constantly complaining about how "this person tortured this person" then you might like it. You will constantly hear critics and youtube users droving on and on about the sex and the octopus like they're 6 year olds.This is one of my favorite Asian movies but I'll admit the plot is weak. However, I think there is more than enough in the movie to compensate for that. Great screenplay/cinematography, Music, suspense, a little bit of poetic elements, and the irony.
- Sympathy for Mr.vengeance
- Sympathy for lady vengeance (some other director wants to make a remake of this movie)
- A tale of two sisters (Remake already made, its called "the Uninvited")
- Taegukgi: the brotherhood of war (I liked this lots)
- Ichi the killer
- A world without thieves
- JSA
- Welcome to Dongmakgul

I'll edit this soon as I get to watch some more

EDIT:

- Save the Green planet
- King and the Clown

Save the Green Planet

What, no German movies?

lol
I can't watch every movie from every country in the world
most movies I watch are Asian anyways.

Any recommendations for German movies?

Das Boot. Only one that comes to mind, but a good one!

Also, Downfall. I think its German name is Untergang. That's a really good movie.
