Tarantino's Best Film since Pulp Fiction.

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2005)

When a woman (Uma Thurman) was left for dead for 4 years and six months ago. When she wakes up from a coma, she finds out that her soon to be husband and her unborn child is dead. Now awake and paralyze, she goes for a bloody revenge on the people, who tries to kill her was her boss and her previous gang-The DiVAS (a.k.a.-The Deadly Viper Assassintion Squad) who betrayed her. Now the woman with no name decide to make a list of Five People to Kill (Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, Micheal Madsen and Her Boss:David Carradine as Bill). Now it's time for payback with a Vengenace!
Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino (Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs) made a entertaining action-adventure thriller loaded with explosive action and outrageous humor. Thurman gives a physical action performance, which she's terrific. The woman with no name is known in the film as The Bride. Her Character is Created by the Director and Actress:Thurman. Kill Bill Vol.1 is only half of Tarantino's written script. Which the Studio:Miramax Films couldn't release the film in Four Hours, so the director and the studio decide to cut the film in half and release the other half in theaters in Six Months (Vol.2 was release in April of 2004). Tarantino pays tribute films like The Man with No Name Trilogy, The Bride Wore Black, Lady Snowblood, The Count of Monte Cristo, Once Upon a Time in the West and a confrontation of Honor as in Swordplay/Samurai/Kung-Fu Movies.
This is a Unique Blend of Tarantino's early films, done with style and energy. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong DTS 5.1 Surround Sound (Also in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound). DVD Features is a Featurette, Music Videos and Trailers of all film that Tarantino has directed. Some disliked the film, because it didn't have Tarantino's unique brand of dialogue but his style and his love for movies are here. One of the Best Movies of 2003. The Film is not for the Squeamish. The film has excellent cinematography by Robert Richardson (Who worked on a Previous film that Tarantino receive story credit for Natural Born Killers, which Tarantino disowned that film). Do not miss this excellent film. Super 35. (**** ½/*****).
