Visual Stunning

Rating: 7/10 (11 October 2003)

True die hard Tarantino fans might be a bit shocked by this film, you hear so much talk of "Will this movie hurt his career" or things like that. The answer is an overwhelming "No!", but it should be noted, don't go in expecting Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Resevior Dogs or any of his writing. This movie is an homage to Samurai movies, and as such, it's not so dialogue heavy or witty as you might expect. The movie is, however, very visually stunning, which is great for Tarantino, because he's stepping out of his box, as if to say "I'm not going to make the same film over and over" and it works. This movie rocked! It was without a doubt the most violent movie I've ever seen, and so to Tarantino, I say "Thankyou."
