Artistically done action movie.

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2014)

This is director Quentin Tarantino's action epic, an intriguing story about a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad called "The Bride" (Uma Thurman), who discovers that she is pregnant with her lover Bill's (leader of the squad) child. The Bride decides to escape her life as a killer, and fled to Texas to marry a young man she met. Raved with jealously, Bill (David Carradine) and the squad guns down the Bride's groom-to-be and members of the wedding party. The Bride is left in a coma, and finds her baby gone after she awakens. To find justice, she seeks revenge on the five members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad who destroyed her life.
This is a movie that is based more on artistry rather than substance, as Chinese and Japanese martial arts are heavily emphasized. To exact revenge, the Bride attempts to learn the skills of martial arts, wielding swords and throwing knifes and punches, to carry on her mission. Instead of a flowing plot, this movie is divided into chapters, with each section delving into one of the Bride's mission or trainings and the background of assassin O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and/or her cohorts, which I thought were tastefully done.
The filmmakers really capture the tension and sensitivity when making each chapter, making the audience aware of the danger of the assassins and the Bride's hunger for revenge. Each action scene is thrilling and the part where the Bride and O-Ren Ishii's top bodyguard Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama) is my favorite - extreme, intense and suspenseful. Gogo's character is devastatingly beautiful but mercilessly evil.
One of the most intense action movies I've seen, this film also has a large supply of bloody action with explicit gore, so, there is a huge warning label or disclaimer for people attempting to watch this.
Grade B+
