Got this one through Netflix the other day and I was pleasantly surprised.  Everything was top-notch: the acting, cinematography, story, etc.  Granted, they took a few crazy liberties with the plot, but it was so enjoyable that I didn't really care in the end.  It was a fun ride that didn't really let up the whole time I was watching.

It kind of reminded me of Leone film in that for the longest time you couldn't figure out who the good guys were and who the bad guys were.  I like it when a film doesn't spell everything out for your right off the bat.

The action scenes were also very well done and made use of several interesting locales; which can be accredited to the art department, I'm sure.

I'd check this one out before Hollywood buys the rights and screws it up.
