Here are two Quentin Tarantino movie knock-offs, one Australian: “(Snag”), and one Finnish: (“Sisu”). “Sisu” you should see, “Snag” you should not. Let’s save the best for last.

‘Snag’

In “Snag,” in a Mexican border town, an Australian man (Ben Milliken, director and star), works for a female drug kingpin (Ana Ortiz), and then falls in love with the boss’s daughter, Valentina (Sofia Castro). Snag’s out of his element as the sole Caucasian among the Mexicans, but the gringo’s fighting skills, ability to take a vicious beating, and Bruce Willis type attitude are quite helpful in these surroundings.
