Spectacular

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2013)

No spoilers about the actual movie, but if you don't want to know about the characters and actors before you have seen the movie, i don't advice you to read any further.
I know there are not many movies that deserve to get the highest possible rating, but a movie this well composed and thought through really deserves it. Sure, there are some question marks, but none that can't be straightened out with a bit of good will and imagination. And i know there's some critics out there who think that only "art pieces" deserve to be called "well composed", but i don't agree. A movie that actually does entertain and gives you value for both time and money in the best possible way should also deserve it. And this is it, here you have that movie.
And as usual when it comes to Quentin Tarantino, all characters are as strongly represented as they can possibly be. And, without spoiling anything, i can guarantee you that you will be spoiled with one of the most intense gunfights ever seen in a movie. I would even go as far as to say that it equals the fight in "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid". There's just "a tiny bit" more blood, but anyone who knows Tarantino knows that there will be a lot of blood and killing.
I also have to praise some of the actors a bit more than the others, and of course there are to be praise poured over Jamie Fox for even being able to play the role in what manner he did. Had i been in his seat, i am not sure if i would have been able to withstand to play such a role. And as usual, Leonardo DiCaprio makes an exceptional role as the bad guy. I would not want to meet that man angry in a dark alley in the middle of the night. Not even a little grumpy, anywhere, in the middle of the day. But most of all, and I'm sure most of you would agree, Samuel L. Jackson excels, and goes far beyond what any one can expect. That man is magic, and even though i can't remember 2 movies with him in them that i haven't liked, this one put the right man in the right place. Giving him the right space to perform and give us a peek of how twisted and intriguing his mind can be when he gets his chases.
All in all this was probably the best ever film i have seen from Tarantino, and i definitely recommend it to anyone, except those who know they cant take blood and gore and gruesome, realistic violence.
