When Quentin nails it, He Nails it.

Rating: 8/10 (27 October 2016)

First the overall breakdown. Visuals: 7.6 (It's a Western. Westerns tend to have a certain look) Effects: 7.4 (Again, Western. The Explosions & Blood packs did their job) Sound & Music: 8.9 (Outstanding, Neo-Campy yet somehow perfect) Script & Writing: 9.2 (Absolutely perfect in all the right ways) Acting: 9.4 (Quentin brought the best out of every cast member) Directing: 9.1 (As stated, When he nails it, he nails it) Overall Total: 8.6 (Excellent Quality Film, Re-watchable)
I aimed to be as fair as possible here, and I don't really love the IMDb rating system so I utilize decimals to enhance my reviews. This was cohesive. The entire cast was in it. The lead Jamie Foxx and his counterpart Christopher Waltz worked great together. Leonardo DiCaprio was....frighteningly excellent. It's very rare to have a film where the entire cast shows up to play oppose to a Cage/Statham I-Need-A-Paycheck movie. Even the smaller roles were approached with a fervor that properly articulates the intent and power this film possesses. Whether it be a testament to Quentin's ability to surprise even his biggest critics from time to time with a Grand Slam, or if it's a motivated cast wanting to make a film really resonate and mean something, I bought the Blu-Ray of this film. It's on Netflix, but I paid money anyway. This was a great watch, a film that showed both the darker aspects of humanity and that feeling of accomplishment when bravery and perseverance outlast and defeat ignorance and greed. I highly recommend this film. It isn't for Children. I say that knowing full well that sheltering children from our turbulent past doesn't particular aid in teaching them about it properly, but the violence, harsh language, brief nudity, and again violence probably isn't suitable to younger viewers. For adults who enjoy gritty period pieces, I recommend this. For adults who enjoy over-the-top Western Action, I recommend this. For people who need a reminder of why societal progression means something, I implore you to watch this film. Whether you like Tarantino or not, this one is a keeper.
