Fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2020)

This is one of those movies that you start watching late at night, thinking you're only going to watch the first few scenes, and then before you know it's 2 am and you have to get up early the next day, but you're still energized by what you've just seen. Y'know? Quentin Tarantino has made a lot of great films, and this one is right up there with his best. It has all of his trademarks - a fantastic cast, snappy dialogue, creative story-telling, excellent pace, a retro/cool soundtrack, and several "big" moments. It also has a nearly perfect level of discipline and restraint, which make it that much better. Love Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, Robert Forster, and Bridget Fonda in this. Tarantino the writer is as good as Tarantino the director, and his vision and aesthetic shine brightly, as they do in his other films. Very satisfying, fun, and entertaining.
