Incredible

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2009)

Holy god, what a movie! I'm not even sure how I should describe such an experience. Even though this film is totally concerned with war, I have difficulty calling it a "war movie," and I most certainly wouldn't call it an "action movie" either, as it doesn't really possess anything I would consider true "action"--just brief, visceral outbursts of extreme violence that take place at very calculated, very deliberate times (all of which moments are pure awesome). It does, however, include a shitload of dialogue in the typical Tarantino fashion. But it is all so very good, and the story is brilliantly clever. To be completely honest, as I watched the film, the notion of possibly being utterly let down by the ending was constantly nagging at me; but I was not let down. Not even to the slightest degree.
To sum things up, this film is almost perfectly executed. This is without a doubt one of the best movies I've seen in a long time; 10 out of 10 easily. Go see it.
