Awfully good.

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2013)

Quintin Tarentino is one of the most interesting writer directors working today. So what if he exhibits signs of Attention Defecit Disorder and his movies seem to wander and change course about half way through and never seem to end when they should.
"Django Unchained" is "Inglorious Bastards" set in the pre-civil war south. The Jews are replaced by Blacks and Nazies by Plantation Owners. If you don't have Hitler to kill take revenge on Leonardo DiCaprio's well acted Candie Land owner.
The movie is an homage to the Italian Western of the 60's. It has the appropriate titles, music and cinematography. All that was missing was out of sync dubbed dialogue.
Christoph Waltz is outstanding as the Bounty Hunter who needs and partners with Django. His horse deserves a nod.
You just know it is a black comedy, especially when Tarentino shows up with bad hair and a worse accent towards what seems like a tacked on sequence needed for a tacked on ending.
The violence is extreme but about average for a Tarentino movie. Well written, acted, and directed. It's well worth your time and money.
