Hit-And-Miss Tarantino Creates His Biggest Hit

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2014)

Quentin Tarantino is a very hit-and-miss sort of Director for me, as sometimes his movies are incredible and sometimes they enter the realms of being too bizarre. This one was definitely a hit for me!
The film starts giving background to the Gecko Brothers (played by Clooney and Tarantino), with Clooney having originally been caught and imprisoned for armed robbery. Tarantino breaks him out, but they need to find a way across the border to Mexico (a safe haven nicknamed "El Rey"). Throughout their journey they encounter multiple obstacles from police patrols to dealing with a hostage situation. Eventually they take a former priest and his daughter and son hostage, in order to get across the border.
Once they get across the border, the Gecko brothers decide to celebrate at a striptease establishment, and then from there things go to hell real quick as the staff turn out to be vampires!
In typical Tarantino style, it becomes more apparent as the film goes on that his character suffers from serious mental illnesses, which ensues him to rape, and misconstrue reality. For me, the acting was incredible between Clooney and Tarantino. The action scenes, as well, are excellent, and the sudden change into a vampire survival movie is actually one that I enjoyed. The transition was not a boring one either, as there is constant action throughout the movie and the story line is consistent.
This movie will always be one of Tarantino's best!
