A Tarantino Bloodbath and Then Some

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2009)

The film reminded me of "The Dirty Dozen" with a Yiddish accent. Whom else than a Jewish American soldier had more right to kill Nazi bastards? I had mentioned to my wife that someday, someone would write a book based on how a revenge-minded Jew would travel to Germany and become a serial killer in a community. I guess this film is as close to my prediction as I'll ever get and Mr. Tarantino pulls out all the stops. Man is this one brutally bloody two and a half hours YET highly highly interesting due to intriguing celluloid fiction coupled with exquisite cinematography,two language subtitles and a marvelous piece of acting by Christoph Waltz as "Jew Hunter" Col.Hans Landa. The movie is far from just being a naked tale about a Jewish American squad of soldiers led by Brad Pitt to exact murder on anyone wearing a German uniform; it also deals with love, devotion, dedication, twists, turns and betrayal. A very engrossing and riveting 153 minutes. Well worth your time and admission price.
