Brad Pitt is a mean, mean man.

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2009)

Quentin Tarantino writes and directs and Brad Pitt stars in this war drama with a "spaghetti western" feel. For a Tarantino film, I expected more violence; but don't get me wrong...when it comes time for violence its there fast and hard. Revenge motivated, Lt. Aldo Raine(Pitt)leads a team of Allied Americans in occupied France. Their job is "Nazi killing" and collecting 100 scalps per man. Adding to the excitement, Raine's "Basterds" blend into a mission of assassinating the Nazi German leadership while manipulated into viewing the premiere of a piece of propaganda in a French Jewish cinema.
Pitt does not command every scene of the film, but each he is in he owns. Absolutely hilarious at times. Christoph Waltz is also outstanding. Others in the cast: Melanie Laurent, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, Daniel Bruhl, Michael Fassbender, Omar Doom, Julie Dreyfuss and Mike Meyer; yes, that Mike Meyer.
