Black Mamba strikes

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2013)

I was a little young when this movie came out and had not seen any other Tarantino movies, so you can imagine I was a bit shocked by it. At the time, the gore and violence was a bit extreme (not unheard of, just not as common as it is in films today) and it took awhile to get used to. I had to watch it several times to come to love it the way I do now. Tarantino is a genius and one of my all time favorite filmmakers on earth. His mind is simply genius.
Kill Bill is about an ex assassin who had a formal love relationship with her leader, Bill, that resulted in a pregnancy. To protect the baby, the Black Mamba fled the team and was about to get married to a safe guy when Bill shows up on the night of the rehearsal dinner with the team and they kill everyone. Black Mamba narrowly avoids death and is put in a 4 year coma. She wakes up to find her baby did not survive and sets out to seek revenge on all of the team members, saving Bill for last.
It is an epic, violent journey that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
