Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (6 January 2013)

Looks like Tarantino is getting old and jaded. He generally has a small acting role in his movies, in this one he looked like Elvis in the latter part of his career and so does the movie. Going through the motions with little emotional involvement or imagination. I am actually quite a fan of Tarantino and had hoped to see his equivalent of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven but left the theater disappointed. The movie was far too long for what was on offer (not that much) and the ending seemed to be a 20 minute add on to meet blood and gore quotas and nothing more. As regards acting, this movie should leave a few of the famous thinking like Silvester Stallone after he made Rhinestone. I understand he basically paid to have that movie taken out of circulation. Samuel Jackson, in particular, may soon be doing the same. His role was far from sympathetic, but made worse by overacting. Don't give up the day job Quentin.
