Rating this one a 7 simply because its different and I can't give a 6.5 (and am feeling generous).
It feels sort of like a high budget high school movie. Plot seems like they got high one night and thought 'lets make a whacky movie about a super cool guitar playing guy *with a samurai sword* who has to get to post apocalyptic Las Vegas'. And then did it.
The people he meets are interesting characters. In this respect, its sort of like 'The Warriors', but where he roams towards Vegas and meets different tribes.
There is virtually no acting involved unless its overacting (its one or the other), but I'm hoping that is because they are trying not to deliberately. And the kid is extremely annoying at parts. But it has some cool music and enjoyable fight scenes. Who can't enjoy a super cool guy cutting up bunches of people to music, in a post apocalyptic world?
It's a shame this wasn't given a bit more time and attention to plot, and to the musical score. I really liked the rock soundtrack, but I felt (especially in a scene or two towards the end) where having the antagonists music show would have made more sense.
A bit of improvement and polish and they could have had a new classic.
