Kill Bill Volume 1 is an action thriller film that stars Uma Thurman as The Bride together with Lucy Liu,Vivica A. Fox,Daryl Hannah,David Carradine,Michael Madsen,Julie Dreyfus and David Carradine as Bill.It is the first of two volumes that were theatrically released several months apart, the second volume being Kill Bill Volume 2.The story follows the character known as "The Bride", a former assassin who seeks revenge on still-active colleagues who massacre members of her wedding party and try to kill her. The movie was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino after a five-year hiatus.
Kill Bill Volume 1 starts when The Bride opts to leave the outfit for a life of marital bliss. Unfortunately,it doesn't sit well with her boss, Bill, so he has her former cohorts.They show up at the nuptials, leaving behind a blood bath. Miraculously, The Bride survives a bullet to the head and, four years later, she sets out for revenge against her four assassins and their employer.
Kill Bill Volume 1 is a great film due to its stylish direction as it pays homages to film genres such as Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese chanbara films, Italian spaghetti westerns, girls with guns, and rape and revenge.Although the movie is somewhat strange,it gets better particularly the action scenes as it moves along.It is a very violent movie but it was done excellently by Tarantino.
Overall,Kill Bill Volume 1 provides us an action movie with striking beauty and violence like no other.
