Inglorius Basterds

Rating: 9/10 (14 September 2009)

Lt.Aldo Raine(Brad Pitt)and his eight Jewish-American soldiers are dropped into France,dressed as civilians.The slaughter of Nazis begins with brutal scenes of scalping and baseball bat bludgeoning.A young Jewish refugee Shosanna Dreyfus(Mélanie Laurent)witnesses her family being exterminated by cold-blooded SS Colonel Hans Landa(Christoph Waltz)who is more commonly known as the Jew Hunter.Several years later Dreyfus is given the chance to avenge her family when the Nazi high command decide to host the premiere of their new war propaganda movie at the cinema she now runs.With the promise of every major Nazi officer in attendance,the screening also becomes the target of a British plan to blow the place up and this brings in the "Basterds",a ruthless group of Jewish-American guerrilla soldiers led by the slightly insane Lt.Aldo Raine."Inglorious Basterds" is a wonderful treat for Tarantino's fans.It's full of darkly comic moments and there are some strong scenes of violence provided by KNB.As usual Tarantino delivers when it comes to various genre references.9 out of 10.
