Nothing fresh.

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2003)

This was entertaining but didn't have the freshness and innovativity we're used to seeing from Tarantino. The action sequences we're nice, not too over-exaggerated like on "Romeo must die" but still ... this is a pure trend movie. From the late ´90s ! Kung-fu movies have already been seen, in the ´70s AND the ´90s. A couple of years ago it was sort of refreshing to see the old ideas being warmed up again using new technology but enough is enough. And the story (although good) just doesn't carry the burden of staleness far enough to keep me EAGERLY waiting for the sequel.
A big plus for the soundtrack. And Uma of course :)
