Tarantino's Western Spectacle

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2013)

Quentin Tarantino gives us his new movie, "Django Unchained" reeling into the western genre in epic fashion. Tarantino continues to impress with his unique style of directing. Christoph Waltz brings the strongest performance in the movie living up to his Oscar winning performance in "Inglorious Basterds", also directed by Tarantino. Leonardo DiCaprio played a solid role as the sadistic plantation owner Calvin Candie as well as his slave master/overseer Stephen played by Samuel L. Jackson. Jamie Fox does not portray a great deal of emotion to his role as Django however perhaps that is the best for this tale of rescue/revenge. If you don't mind the excessively and brutally graphic nature of Tarantino's films (mind the R rating) then I highly suggest you check out this new addition to his filmography.
