You gotta be kidding

Rating: 5/10 (10 October 2007)

If I were allowed to split this up, I'd give a "10" to the first half and a "1" to the second, only because Salma Hayak was in it. Other than that, it's a mindless, ludicrous, gratuitous, gore-fest, with unnecessary religious overtones.
It started off so well, and could have rivaled "Pulp Fiction" in all departments if they had so chosen.
Mr. Tarantino is ill-advised to "act" in any of his films; he came very close to ruining Pulp Fiction with his unbelievably crass "dead n*gger storage" routine. Fortunately, he wasn't quite so bad here, but they certainly should have cast somebody else. Anybody else.
I would even go so far as to say the second half was as bad as Kill Bill II. Yes, that bad.
George Clooney is flawless in this. He steals every scene he's in. Harvey Keitel demonstrates why he is one of my favourite actors. Juliette Lewis does herself proud, and makes me wonder why we haven't seen a lot more of her.
If you liked Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and you haven't seen this one yet, I would recommend that you watch it attentively up until they arrive at the Titty Twister, then turn it off and invent your own scenario as to how it might've ended. Trust me, you'll be a lot better off.
