It hurts so good

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2003)

Herein is one of those times when a film simply sucks but you love it anyway. Perhaps it is because it has been six years since I have had a taste of Tarantino. Perhaps its because I'm a sucker for all the hommage stick. Common people, Bruce Lee's yellow jump suit!! What ever the reason, this film entertained me. The Hong Kong action, the Western feel, the animae, all equals one rocking good afternoon in the dark. That aside, from a serious critical standpoint, this film is his worst. From wooden and over used characters like "Buck", to miraculous coma recoveries, to silly Batmanesq same time, same channel endings, this film is a huge disappointment from a man who looked like he was getting better with each release. If you put your action adventure goggles on, this is a winner. If you expect a Tarantino film, have an extra one at happy hour before buying your ticket.
