Quentin Tarentino at his best

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2013)

I wanted to see the movie since the minute I heard the soundtrack, but when I walked out of the theatre, I was literally overwhelmed by how much I loved it. Fans of Tarantino's work will definitely appreciate it. For those who aren't that familiar with his work, beware: violence, blood and galore in overloads. The soundtrack is perfectly chosen from the music Tarantino had at home: it definitely plays an important part in setting the atmosphere. The universe is sordid, the plot is worse, some scenes - two, to be precise- had me nearly throwing up. Despite that, I won't criticize the level of violence in the movie. I don't think it's unneeded. On the contrary, it is a very important part of that universe. Black people were killed and tortured; it should shock you. Sparing the viewer's sensibilities would also spare him the full extent of the horror implied. So no, it's not needlessly violent. The movie will have you on the edge of your seat and I guarantee you won't even realize how long it is. It's definitely worth viewing.
