Summary: Two different bandits rob a train at the same time and only one gets away with an incredibly valuable treasure map when they're interrupted by a bounty hunter. Typical western, eh? Except that all three protagonists are Korean, the train is travelling across Mongolia, it's 1940-something, and they're all eventually on the run from the Imperial Japanese Army.
Review:Great fun, with some nice shout outs to Sergio Leone (in particular the famous Mexican standoff at the end of tGtBtU and the Shooting the Hat bit from For a Few Dollars More, but with a bit of a downer ending.
