A solid, character driven movie

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2006)

When we insert our Quentin Tarantino movie into the machine, we expect to be bombarded with action, and perhaps sex. If this is what you're looking for, you may walk away disappointed. While this film does not provide a gun shot or beating around every corner, or breasts every few scenes, it does provide us with an intricate look inside a half dozen interesting characters. Don't get me wrong, it packs a mean punch compared to the average flick, just perhaps more mature and talkative compared to the average QT thriller. I personally commend Quentin for swaying off his action crammed image and simply telling an interesting story with a few sporadic gun shots here and there. Unless you can't stay seated without action in almost every scene, I would recommend this flick be seen.
