"Good Action Western!"

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2013)

Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington and Samuel L. Jackson star in Quentin Tarantino's 2012 action western. This takes place in the 1800's where we meet African American slave, Django Freeman (Foxx) who gets freed by a former German dentist turned bounty hunter, Dr. King Schultz (Waltz) and become friends. King asks Django to become his partner and accepts in exchange to rescue his slave wife, Broomhilda (Washington) from shrewd plantation owner, Calvin Candie (DiCaprio) who now owns her. Jackson plays Candie's house slave (Stephen), Tarantino makes an appearance along with Michael Parks, original Django star, Franco Nero and Make-up artist, Tom Savini. This is a good film with a great cast, especially Waltz and it's nice to see DiCaprio as a villain for the first time. The film pays tribute to some older westerns adding blood & profanity which is usual for Tarantino's films, but OK. I recommend this.
