Wait a second... I didn't know that we had power hoses in our bodies!

Rating: 5/10 (29 March 2006)

Remember those old movies where what happens on screen can possibly happen in real life? Well this is not one of them. Quentin Tarantino emerges from no where to establish himself as a well-known director. In his pursuit to become a film making legend, Tarantino proves to everyone how the mere sight of blood, something that made us cringe in years past, has become a must see in modern film. Unfortunately, instead of utilizing this ticket-selling obsession in proportion, Tarantino completely goes all out and overuses it.
The Japanese style film with a story that does not make sense shows that this film was targeted at violence-hungry knuckleheads with a craving for blood. I never knew it could happen, but it did. A story about some pregnant super-agent bride who loses her baby and vows revenge turned out to be one of the top selling movies of the year.
If Tarantino meant for this movie to be a sarcastic comedy, then he did an outstanding job. If he meant it to be a respectable action film, boy... does he need to go back to film school.
Regrettably impressive fight sequences are the only savior for this lost cause. The special effects were overdone and the acting performances were laughable.
If you do decide to see this movie, make sure you wear a rain coat and carry an umbrella, because considering the blood hits just about everything, it just as well can hit you.
My rating: 5/10 in General 6.5/10 for an Action Film
