Kill Bill Thrills

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2004)

I saw this movie last year at the theater and, at this point, recommend the biggest screen experience possible. Its sparse script borders on poetry, allowing thrilling imagery to impact viewers to the max. All cast give strong performances, but Uma is most striking in her role as the bridal bruiser, a convincing Amazon, yet showing tenderness as perhaps a woman best can, most notably in her character's maternal grief over her child presumed dead. The film's violence, perfectly choreographed, appears to draw upon a wealth of sources ranging from comic books to Sam Pekinpah. A sensory feast. Looking forward with anticipation to Kill Bill Two.
