A Quentin Tarantino Film

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2009)

The first thing, me and my friend are Tarantino fans and through that this film might flop, but after watching this film in the cinema we both walk out and looked at each other and said... It's a Quentin Tarantino Film.
Now that doesn't mean the only reason we liked this film because it's a Quentin Tarantino production, no.
By the advert it would make it seem like a killing spree of a film with no talking and Brad Pitt showing his 6 pack then chopping Himmler's head of and shoving it up Hitler's ass and they lived happy ever after.
Actually I through this film doesn't have a lot of action scene in it (compared to Kill Bill). There is don't worry about that, and when it happens you really know it's happening, but most the film does a sort of Pulp Fiction telling different stories, But unlike Pulp Fiction all the stories go to the main one, not having their own little ending and you have to assume what happens next. This is no Pulp Fiction don't worry, completely new and original. When I say original, I mean you will not say "oh that scene's like the one out of die hard or dirty dancing" (bad examples I know) but you should know what I mean.
There is a very good opening scene which shows Christoph Waltz who play an excellent part as Col. Hans Landapart aka the Jew hunter who by his name should give it away goes round and finds, you guessed it, Jews, Goes to a small French family and has a very casual at first but then powerful talk with him about hiding Jews. It shows what it must have been like back then to be in that situation the fear of having a horrible Nazi talking to you. But his not shouting or threatening to kill his children he is as I said having a casual talk with him as if he was a old friend, but his a brilliant nasty piece of work ! His one of thought's Gary Oldman bad guys who you really love to hate! You'll find out why when you see it, his very well done! Anyway back to the main film. The film itself is excellent, the action scenes involve the normal Quentin the more blood the better, but not like Kill bill with the watery blood going up in the air when an arm comes flying off. A bit more realistic in Quentin's world anyway. There's a scene in this film which makes you feel how you felt in Reservoir Dogs. When his pouring on the petrol and your thinking "oh s***, Oh S***." the suspense is horrible and your thinking "Just burn him already" whiles his dancing round him, but in that film he gets out of it and doesn't burn to death. In Inglourious Basterds the scene with Eli Roth and a baseball bat, he comes walking out of this room banging the bat against the wall and you can't see him. He does this for about 20 to 30 seconds whiles his slowly walking out... It's the longest 20 to 30 seconds in movie history, and the scene that follows his quite horrific.
There were two great scenes but there is a lot more where that came from. You'll probably walk out the cinema with a lot of things to think about, you might need some counselling of some sort but apart from that a excellent film .....And some great quotes! Go see this film!
