Actors: Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt
Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demián Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael
Madsen, Bruce Dern, Channing Tatum
Rating: 8 out of 10, This was vintage
Tarantino with singular characters that he somehow weaves together for an
interesting narrative as well as the obligatory blood and violence. Each
character is fully formed and the movie doesn’t lose its way trying to tell
everyone’s story but by the end of the film you know them all. Kurt Russell
can’t do anything bad in my book and he dominates as a grizzled bounty hunter
who reluctantly teams up with counterpart Samuel L. Jackson back to chewing up
scenes for Tarantino. They are escorting Jennifer Jason Leigh to the hangman
and she is sneakily the best character in the outstanding cast. While this
isn’t Tarantino’s best work I walked out amazed that three hours had passed
because it was mostly conversation with the odd head being blown off.
MVP: Jackson, as usual when teamed
with Tarantino, shines as Major Warren
