Tarantino's War.

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2015)

Inglourious Basterds (2009): Dir: Quentin Tarantino / Cast: Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Melanie Laurent, Diane Kruger, Michael Fassbender: Another masterpiece from one of the best filmmakers of his time. Here he presents a film about celebrated evil that erupts within 1944 Nazis Germany as a group of soldiers by the title name seek out and scalp Nazis. They discover their targets at a movie premier at a cinema owned by a young woman whom escaped a Nazis attack years earlier. Now she sees opportunity for revenge, which results in a rousing climax. Director Quentin Tarantino delivers on dialogue and inner hatred ranking this among his best, which includes Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill films. Brad Pitt is amusing as the Southern Basterd commander who takes risks particularly when unable to master accents. Christoph Waltz steals the film as a sly and cruel Col. Landa whose charm conceals a sadistic nature that will eventually come full circle with karma. Diane Kruger plays an undercover agent and actress who becomes injured during a shootout. She will become the unwilling victim of Landa's cunning brilliance. Melanie Laurent delivers the second best performance as an escapee of Landa's raid but will seek the ultimate vengeance. Michael Fassbender plays a spy sent into enemy territory to meet with the Basterds. Graphic yet vocal demonstration of hate. Score: 9 / 10
