Not really a "Tarantino"

Rating: 3/10 (23 April 2006)

Unfortunately I must say I was very disappointed after watching this movie. I've always been a great fan of Tarantino's films. Of course there has always been a certain amount of brutality and some kind of horror. His previous movies used to be interesting, confusing, exciting, surprising.... You know, all what made a Tarantino movie a Tarantino movie. "Kill Bill" was imho already a big step back from Quentin. Thus I expected his next work to be as good as his films used to be. But my expectation was completely condemned with "Hostel". This movie is nothing but an average splatter film! Regrettably I can't say anything positive about it. If Quentin's next work is as bad as this one, then he will be "a director who had some good movies previously", instead of being "The Grandmaster of Film".
