Is everybody bonkers?

Rating: 2/10 (19 October 2003)

You may think that I'm just a Tarantino rookie, and I am, but I did go into the movie expecting a whole lot of graphic violence. Well, I did see a whole lot of graphic violence, but I didn't see the amazing plot I had been promised.
Revenge is nice and all, but there was no story whatsoever. The movie was tied together by the violence. It was one violent scene after another after another.
The movie was not without merit. It had excellent choreography in the fight scenes. The acting wasn't so bad. And there was excellently placed comic relief just when it was needed. So it was well directed.
I just don't think you can put revolting plot items, weak plot items and graphically violent plot items together and call it a five-star movie.
