Interesting Nazi Exploitation

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2009)

The plot of the film is basically summed up by its premise. A bunch of Jews go and kill a bunch of Nazis set to Tarantino's unique style. There is lots of action, a little sex, decent conversation and interaction, interesting choices for music... and in this case.. history is thrown right out the window for the sake of telling a more interesting story.
Unfortunately there were some noticeable flaws in the film that make it less memorable than other Tarantno films. For one, the characters aren't nearly as memorable, nor are they near as quotable. Second, the typography seemed a little disjointed and could have been planned a little better. Third, and only in one scene, the music was a little off for the scene. The lyrics made sense, but something about the music was not nearly as appropriate and it lacked a certain cohesion that we have come to expect from Quentin Tarantino.
Ultimately this film appears to be yet another attempt by Tarantino to recapture and make mainstream the grindhouse epic and I must admit that a true return to this kind of cinema with modern resources appeals to me and despite the aforementioned flaws, this film is really enjoyable.
8/10
