Stinker

Rating: 1/10 (18 March 2006)

Boring. Predictable. Derivative. Clunky. Self-conscious. Overly stylized. The monologues were neither cute nor meaningful. It's as if Tarantino's only goal in life is to be "cool" and clever by paying homage to his favorite movies. He's a third-rate Jean-Luc Godard ripping off Sergio Leone with Sam Peckinpah bloodstains all over his hands. I never thought it possible he could come up with something worse than Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, but he did. You have to hand it to him, though, he gives the masses what they want a la Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Peter Jackson and all the other PT Barnums of the motion picture industry.
