A white liberal's imagining of a black revenge fantasy

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2014)

A little bit bloody, but I guess that's just Quentin Tarantino. The film held my interest throughout. Some fine actors did some fine work in this movie, like Jamie Foxx, Bruce Dern, and Samuel L. Jackson. And Leonardo DiCaprio finally looks grown up. I have seen from her television work that Kerry Washington is a fine actress with a lot of range. Very pretty, too. I wasn't familiar with Cristoph Waltz, but his part was very good. Overall the film seems like a white liberal's imagining of a black revenge fantasy. I suppose that there's nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed the film, but I cannot find it to be the masterpiece that some of the commentators seem to think it is.
