An entertaining yarn worth at least one viewing

Rating: 7/10 (27 March 2013)

The acting was pretty solid all round, especially CW and LD, but also SJ who seemed to be enjoying his role no end.
The stereotypical southern white landowners were amusingly portrayed and there was a fair amount of dark humour to be had from all the OTT racist remarks flying about.
The opening half hour or so was very well done, but the story itself seemed to drag on a little towards the end and some of the latter plot directions lacked punch. It's a notch below the likes of Pulp Fiction and whilst at least one scene did attempt to build tension in typical Tarantino style, it wasn't as well done as perhaps a comparable scene in True Romance between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper.
Overall an enjoyable couple of hours and a good addition to the Tarantino portfolio.
