an awful example of style withOUT substance

Rating: 1/10 (9 December 2003)

tarantino, a master of indulgent egoism, essentially creates a wet dream of a pulp samurai tale. gory? yes, fine; to a point? no, not really. tarantino lacks any real story (girl wakes from coma, girl wreaks revenge; pretty straightforward stuff) and tries to make up for it by making his film look as cool as it can. the result: a film that reeks of self-awareness and literally bores one comatose. don't waste your time.
