Overkill Bill?

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2004)

--------------WARNING-the following review may give away minor, albeit slightly obvious, details on the story and plot-WARNING-----------------

The film was spectacular, and although Tarantino fans might take a while to adjust to seeing lethal sword-wielding assassins instead of his usual gangsters, it does work. At the very beginning we're treated to a spectacular showdown with deadly knife fights to match, but there does seem to be something morally wrong with 'The Bride' taking out her terrible revenge regardless of the fact that her opponents young daughter is watching.
As good as the film is, it really is shockingly violent, and difficult to watch sometimes. Particularly a graphic scene involving the main character biting off someones tongue.
There is a spectacular showdown at the end featuring Uma Thurman Vs. the Crazy 88, which should win best choereography at the oscars.
Watch the movie if you are not squeemish. Not even a little bit.
