Best film ever.

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2009)

I don't throw those words around lightly. Prior to watching..., witnessing this movie, my all time favourite was "The Terminator", followed by "Pulp Fiction" and then "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".
All I wanted was a film that surpassed "Resevoir Dogs" so I could walk away happy. But after each 20 minutes or so, my top 5 started to cake and crumble even more. I hate that my favourite film is now from 2009. I cry for "The Terminator" as it is a glorious piece of cinematography. But if you are rating based on "bang for buck", "script and delivery", "casting" and "awards to the viewer", I can't think of anything else out there that comes close.
I do realise what I'm saying, "Heat", "Vallina Sky", "Leon", and the film I dare not mention, lest I get taken to the mattresses. It is hard to get to grips with, but fact is fact.
This is Brad Pitt's best performance since "Snatch". Christopher Waltz is a better bad guy than Heath Ledger. And the sub-characters all feel like they deserve to be in the front row as well.
I have no gripes whatsoever with this movie and Tarantino is now my all time favourite director, and I place him where he belongs proudly, right on top of Luc Besson.
