Lots of blood

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2006)

Kill Bill Vol. 1 is a hyper-violent, hyper-gory, Kong-fur grind-house flick. And there's nothing at all wrong with that.
Kill Bill centers on an assassin named only as the Bride (Uma Thurman), who was shot in the head on her wedding day by the mysterious Bill. Four years later, the Bride wakes from a coma to find out she's not only lost four years of her life, but also her child (she was pregnant at the time of the shooting). So she sets off in her quest for revenge, her quest to kill Bill. But before she can get to Bill, the Bride must first get through Bill's Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (Lucy Lui, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah and Michael Madsen). Let the body count begin.
So as the Bride exacts her revenge on anyone that gets in her way, we quickly realize that "Kill Bill Vol. 1" is a movie made by Tarantino for Tarantino. You get the feeling that what he's saying with this film is, "If you don't like the Huber-violence and mega-blood than fudge you, because I do." Body parts fly across the screen with glee. Buckets of blood spurt out of body stumps. And heads roll (literally) all over the film. My rule of thumb, lots of blood, something to watch and enjoy or laugh too. Ya watch this.
