Brutality. It's fun!

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 2009)

Director/writer Quentin Tarantino has done it to his audiences again with his latest cinematic epic - the one with a misspelled title, "Inglourious Basterds." Imagine the audience's surprise when, after cheering those gruesome clips of German soldiers being brutally annihilated, the scene shifts to a Parisian movie theater where Germany's top military brass are delighting in a film where Allied troops are being slaughtered.
Was the irony wasted on our audience? Perhaps. After all, watching our guys killing their guys is always so much fun - regardless of which side you're on.
