Junk but fascinating.

Rating: 6/10 (14 May 2005)

This movie is compelling to watch but at the end it's feels like you've eaten too much junk food - you have indigestion and feel like you've made a big mistake.
The music is good, the scenes look spectacular and the action is non-stop.
The problem is that the plot is simple and unbelievable. It makes no sense. It isn't meant to make sense - like junk food is not good for you. Both are served up to tempt and corrupt the body and soul.
One learns nothing from this movie. It's a comic book on film.
Tarantino has made a reputation for making bold and unusual films. Some have come off, this one hasn't. It's an excuse for self indulgence. I'm glad I didn't pay money to see it.
