Understatement:weird western!

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2013)

A wacky, weird western from writer/director Quentin Tarantino. A much anticipated movie that seems to satisfy all expectations. Not much is held back with Tarantino in charge of this modern-day spaghetti western. Strong graphic violence and unlimited use of the N-word. Beautiful scenery and over-the-top realistic situations in a sadistic manner in this antebellum era story about the rugged Old West and very Deep South. An impressionable and strong minded slave called Django(Jamie Foxx)is freed to trek across the country with a determined bounty hunter, Dr. King Schultz(Christopher Waltz). Django is actually trained by the former dentist to be a deputy bounty hunter with the sole purpose of finding his wife Broomhilda(Kerry Washington), who is actually a favorite slave of cruel plantation owner Calvin Candie(Leonardo DiCaprio). Vicious fighting, a fair share of nudity, no-holds barred language makes for a strong raw R rating; you shouldn't expect any less from Tarantino. Of course, Foxx gets most of the publicity; but I think it is DiCaprio, who steals the show. Other players include: Samuel L. Jackson, James Remar, Walter Goggins, Dana Gourrier, David Steen and Nicole Galicia.
