Stylish,Sadistic & so cool

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2006)

I think a lot of people misunderstood Kill Bill for a action/Drama, but what it really is, is a black comedy that uses elements of action, Drama & martial arts. Tarantino has built in several great references to 70's martial arts films as well as some spaghetti western & a brilliant Brain DePalma scene. As a note this film has some of the most inventive & Brilliant Cinematography ever seen on film. As far as the mechanics of the film goes it even beets Pulp Fiction ! Now for the the acting: This is an excellent role for Uma (it seems that Trantino always brings out the best in her) though her role as Mia in Pulp is far better. Lucy Liu shows some great talent as the exceedingly evil O-Ren-Ishii.Vivia A Fox is average in role as Vernita Green. Madsen & Carradine are both equally good in small roles in the first part. But the role that stood out more than the others is that of Dyrrel Hannah a Elle Driver in this pat she only has a brief cameo but she should have got an Oscar for the part 2.Sonny Chiba is excellent in his small but crucial role as Hattori Hanzo.
The sound track is great especially the 'bang,bang' song in the opening credits. People are often outraged at Pulp only winning one Oscar K.B should have won 5 (Best actress in a leading role(Uma Thurman),Best actress in a supporting role(either Lucy or Dyrell), Best Director, best song & best cinematography.
A solid 8/10 from me.
