Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2007)

If you don't walk out of the theater after the conclusion of the phenomenal Planet Terror, don't say you weren't forewarned. After 15 minutes of watching Death Proof you will be praying for suicidal release.
I chose to ignore critical warnings about the talented Tarantino's voyage into "long stretches of lameness" - and now wish I had heeded the warning:
"The movie's structure  blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-yikes!-blah-blah-blah-blah-whoa!-hey!-wow!  appropriately suggests a '70s production that blew its tiny budget on fifteen or so minutes of action footage, then shot as much hastily-conceived nothing as necessary to reach a feature-length running time."
If you are reading these words, you have been chosen for a reason. Heed the warning. You'll be glad you did.
