Very Silly

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2003)

KILL BILL: VOL. 1 is one of the silliest (and goriest) movie I've ever seen. That being said, the excellent production value and tongue-in-cheek nature make the film highly entertaining. The whole movie is one long attempt to be cool. Uma Thurman gives a pretty good performance as the Bride and Vivica A. Fox stands out as a suburban mother who also happens to be a deadly assassin. Quentin Tarantino reaffirms his status as one of the strangest and most interesting directors now working. The director of photography, Robert Richardson (who worked on many of Oliver Stone's movies) deserves some special recognition as well.
