It is not for the faint hearted but is definitely for anyone who likes something a little different and enjoys the oriental culture and quirkiness that this film has.

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2012)

This film is essentially a real life cartoon, with everything that happens being exaggerated, and the use of actually cartoon imagery being used really makes this film unique, although I do wish that a slight bit more cartoon imagery had been used, it was still extremely enjoyable to watch. Others would say that is may be pointless due to the exaggeration of everything in the storyline.
Being a Tarantino film it has the usual kind of weird perspectives, and this film really uses music to its advantage, helping to create images that are sure to stick in any viewers mind. My particular favourite part was how music was integrated into the film a the very beginning with 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra, this part has really stayed in my mind, as it tells you so much about the story even though it has nothing to do with it.
Other highlights included the fluency of the fighting scenes and how they were not just all tricks of the camera by changing camera perspectives, although the fighting was unrealistic, that is what gave the film its charm. The characters were all quite shallow, but this again added to the feel of the film, and I believe this was intended, especially being a Tarantino fan.
All in all I really enjoyed this film, in all of its blood and gore and its almost comedy in how blunt it was the whole time. It is not for the faint hearted but is definitely for anyone who likes something a little different and enjoys the oriental culture and quirkiness that this film has.
