On A cold winter night, Mango and his assistants, Karl, and Jack, walk into a bar. On this day the mayor, Sherman, feels pretty excited and wants a "free ride" from a prostitute, Chelsie. Chelsie refuses to have sex with him, and Sherman orders her to be hanged. Mango spots Chelsie and recognize her. She is the daughter of a woman he killed in his murderous youth days. He decides to rescue her, and leave town. Sherman finds out what his old partner, Mango, has done and hires Charles, and Red Sun to help him find them. When Mango and his friends find out Sherman has hired bounty hunters after them, they must travel west, to safe land, and hires Shawn to help protect them on their journey. During there journey they go into a few towns that results in gunfire (mostly Shawn, and Karl being the ones killing people). They continue the journey wondering if going through all this trouble is worth the life of a whore, and why would Mango even care about a whore?. Eventually in the journey, Chelsie is captured by Mr. Jay, and Jack risked his life to try and protect her. Now Mango must break his vows and pick up his guns one last time to save Chelsie, and get some sense of redemption.

What the press would say:

"Quentin is BACK!!! and he's back in full force, creating a movie that is so amazing, passionate, ground-breaking, and fantastic, that this will surely be this decade's "Pulp Fiction". Blood Trail is the story of a retired gunman risking it all to protect a prostitute, getting some sense of redemption from his murderous past. All the acting is top notch, the best yet in a Quentin Tarantino film, but the three that stand out the most are Harvey Kietal, Michael Madsen, and Henry Winkler. Harvey Kietal is just brilliant. The best role he has ever done, and will ever do. Michael Madsen, is back as another villainous role, that is surely better than his roles in Reservoir Dogs, and Kill Bill. His performance is grade A, and one of the best villains to emerge in a long time. But the most amazing performance in the movie is Henry Winkler. His performance, is so touching, and powerful, surely the best of this year. He has never acted this good, and I'm surprised he was capable of acting this good. Not noticing his performance is a sin against nature. Quentin's direction is his best yet, rivaling Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. His usual art style, and comedic dialogue returns, and is mixed with touching dialogue and a more dramatic style, that is very efficient. This film is a true Masterpiece, and a film to be remembered throughout film history.

"A true Masterpiece, Two thumbs way up" – Roger Ebert and Richard Roper
"Quentin Tarantino's best film since Pulp Fiction" – Entertainment Weekly
"It's Pulp Fiction mixed with Unforgiven that equals a movie far superior to any other film in this decade" – New York Times
