Everyone connected should be embarrassed...

Rating: 1/10 (18 January 2006)

...to be associated with this deplorable mess. Halfway through, just when I thought it couldn't become any more boring and pointlessly violent, this bank robbery/hostage caper of a movie abruptly decides to become a vampire movie--and a gory, lumbering one at that. You can almost hear Tarantino musing, 'Hmm, what would it look like if they cut someone's hand off? Ooh! What about if a flying ax splits open someone's skull?' Etc., etc.
If you read through the reviews here, you may come to the conclusion that I simply didn't understand Tarantino's point or his artistic vision. Please. He HAD no point or vision. He had some money to make a movie and apparently felt smug enough about his own reputation that he could simply throw in whatever scenes interested him. If this had been made by a no-name director and been populated with no-name actors, no distribution company would have sat through the entire movie, much less backing it.
An absolute train wreck, spilling over with stinking piles of manure.
