Somewhat disappointing

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2003)

Granted, it is hard to follow as auspicious a beginning as this movie has, opening as it does with a Klingon proverb, but I generally expected more from Tarantino. His trade mark quirky characters, dialogue and scenes are almost absent from this movie, and all we are left with is an above average turbo Hong Kong flick. Don't get me wrong, I dig a super violent no-brainer as much as the next guy, but there are a lot of guys out there who can do that with this kind of budget, and after a six-year hiatus from Tarantino, this is a disappointment. I give it a 7 out of 10.
