Outrageous bloody entertainment.

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2008)

Uma Thurman kicks butt and sprays blood all over the screen in yet another gem from writer/director Quentin Tarantino. Here, Tarantino pays homage to 1970s grindhouses, old vintage Chinese martial arts and Japanese samurai movies, as well as throwing in a little mix of Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns. Mix all together, and you have one of the most outrageously entertaining movies of the decade that keeps you watching from the shocking opening shot the cliffhanger ending. Even if you aren't a fan of Japanese anime or Chinese martial arts films, don't watch it for that. Watch it for the great acting by Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica A Fox, and Darryl Hannah, the breathtaking choreography during the crazy fight sequences, and the mind-blowing story that Tarantino has put together to entertain and shock us. Vol. I was excellent and I cannot wait to watch Vol. II.
