Simply put, not my type of movie.

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2010)

I've always had a love and hate relationship with Quentin Tarantino. Some of his work i've adored, others no so much and this falls into the latter category. I guess it helps that I had really no interest in the whole storyline, while I also thought a lot of the performances were way too over the top. The brutality is up to part with a lot of Quentin's work, the set pieces are impressive but in the end it just ended up boring me. Eli Roth is great in his twisted role, I especially loved his Ted Williams impersonation from The Red Sox when he hit someone with a bat, but Brad Pitt didn't deserve his critical acclaim if you ask me.
Bottom line. Some will undoubtedly love this, others will hate it, I definitely hated it. Tarantino lovers should see it immediately, casual viewers may want to look for something else, it's all to personal taste.
3/10
