One more off the Tarantino production line

Rating: 4/10 (7 January 2007)

Tarantino uses every tool in his (and everyone else's') bag, from the fractured story-telling and excessive violence that have become his trademarks through cuts of anime and a morricone-esque soundtrack to a succession of extreme close-ups and gore-filled internal anatomy shots which are lifted straight from the CSI production manual.
Unfortunately, for all the skill in reproducing the tricks he fails to conjure anything resembling a worthwhile storyline and despite the numerous star turns is unable to conjure a meaningful film.
Great if you want to sit and watch an almost documentary homage to the myriad tricks from past masters all being crammed into 100mins, but as a movie-experience, leave well alone.
