Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2009)

This is why we go to the movies. This film is a once-in-ten-year phenomenon. Nothing that happens in this movie can be anticipated and, as a result, is non-stop entertainment. Many of the actors are European born (Germany, France, Spain) and their ability to move easily between languages is extraordinary. Brad Pitt's character's clumsy attempt to speak Italian shows how language ignorant Americans are. History is completely rewritten in a most entertaining and satisfying way. The violence is extreme (typical Tarantino) and not for everyone, but it is about violent people in a violent time. This movie deserves awards all around. Picture, actors, director.
