Is there an Editor in the house? - SPOILER ALERT

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 2013)

Well, much better than Inglourious Basterds.
The characters and motivation worked and were believable. The distractions were theatrical rather than self indulgent. The subject matter seemed to be adult rather than the pre-teen bollosck of before.
But: 1) I liked Tarantino because he seemed to have a view that suspense came from within, through inner and/or stylised projection. This was the case in this movie BUT was savagely broken by a couple of scenes 2) Good film making is, like good literature, theatre, poetry, pretty much any creative work about EMPATHY. Do not spend a long amount of anyone's time doing generating this empathetic feeling -then destroy it in a scene.
This is where the editor comes in.
The film fell apart in the last few scenes and a film I was really beginning to love fell into farce. Tarantino got away with this in Dusk til Dawn (roughly, getme) not here.
The house exploding? The preceding scenes? Really? No. Pitch, tone, character, mood - EDITOR!!!!
