Very Good

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2019)

Why Tarantino moved from genius crime films to time period movies makes no sense to me. He had perfected his ability at the crime genre, to be fully entangled in stories of regular people doing far-beyond normal things. Cool characters getting involved in comedic and dark situations. And then he turns to WW2 and the slavery era of the U.S. Why?
Django, I have to admit, is one of my favorites of the new Tarantino. It's pretty slick and cool. It has some great moments, and is fully watchable. I cannot say the movie as a whole is something I would consider great, but it definitely will keep you satisfied all the way through.
The story is about a slave, who gets saved by a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter uses this slaves' knowledge to kill some men and collect the bounty. The work together on a few other killings, and then try to save the ex-slave's wife from an evil plantation owner. The movie ends happily ever after for the slave and his wife, but the others fall short.
It's a watchable movie. I would really recommend a viewing.
