I've been all over the entire universe to find you
Not just worth watching, but a very good Tarantinoesque film that will definitely reward you for you patience.
It has the typical western flavor and the typical western gore, but it is not overdone. The main journey of the film is for our hero to go deep withing himself and face his fears to find out who he truly is.
Vincent Cassel (Ocean's Twelve & Thirteen) plays Blueberry (the French Title) in this Jan Kounen film about the West and mystical experience.
He and Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Sin City) get into it over a saloon girl (Vahina Giocante), who was definitely worth getting into a fight over. He leaves Madsen for dead and he is restored by the Apaches.
He returns to civilization as the town Marshall and Madsen returns as the evil villain looking for the Apache's gold - not the shiny kind.
Juliette Lewis (From Dusk Till Dawn, Natural Born Killers)is in the mix after Madsen kills her father and she chases after him and Eddie Izzard (Ocean's Twelve & Thirteen), who is looking for real gold.
Blueberry (Cassel) and Blount (Madsen) are left to battle each other, but not in the way you expect. This is where it gets really good as they go on a mescaline/peyote trip that brings forth some real nasty demons and then they fly through the universe in a 2001 type adventure before they discover their truths.
I can only say that Blueberry wins the grand prize at the end when he is swimming with Juliette Lewis in all her natural born glory.
Also features Djimon Hounsou in a good scene. Star wars fanatics will recognize Temuera Morrison as the mystical guide and Blueberry's friend.
