Brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2016)

This film is on par with John Wick for entertainment value. It's bloody, funny, weird, occasionally troubling, but just a hugely enjoyable romp from beginning to end. Don't go into this film expecting it to be a true-to-the-time movie. It's not. It's gloriously original, uncaring, flamboyant and unique. I absolutely loved that the true evil character, running the slave plantation, is played by Samuel L Jackson. Weird and wonderful casting. I particularly liked Tarantino's cameo role. He blows his character up with dynamite. By that stage, chuckling over the smoking crater left, I realised that I was being truly seduced by the glitzy panache of this film. I loathed The Hateful Eight. Nihilistic and narcissistic, it took itself way too seriously. This film doesn't. Heck, Jamie Foxx wears shades. I half expected him to break into rap. It was playing as a soundtrack over some of the incredibly messy shootouts. If you don't enjoy this movie, I'd seriously have to wonder if you were actually alive. Highly recommended.
