Its actually really good

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2006)

At first I thought I was not going to like this movie, maybe for the simple reason that I had not enjoyed the Kill Bill movies. I watched it because somehow since Pulp Fiction I still feel a lot of respect for Tarantino and feel that I should always give his movies a chance. Right from the start of the film i thought I was going to hate it as soon as I saw these three naive American young backpacking Europe types. However as the film progressed i realized how natural and realistic the idea was and how possible everything that happens could possibly be. There were no clichés after all, the nice guy dies first and the guy I disliked is the surviver. There are a couple of really impressive scenes, its so impressively sick. I don't know if it was just me or if in the end what goes on is actually a twist. There is revenge towards the end of the film towards the evil doers in the end and we find ourselves feeling the same pleasure they were getting in their most terrible deeds for the same reasons. Its a scary thought on my part and I'm not sure if Tarantino was aware of it or not. Evil breeds more evil here like war does and the good don't win by repeating the same acts done to them. Two wrongs don't make a right, Bush must learn these things and a good portion of America.
