Revenge is sweet

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2003)

Wow, Quentin Tarantino is back with a vengeance! Director Tarantino has created a film that incorporates many styles into it, with a heavy nod to the martial arts of the Far East.
It was a stroke of his genius to cast Uma Thurman as the protagonist of this tale of revenge. Ms. Thurman has not played anything before with so much relish and verve, as she does here. In this film she continues to show that led by a good director, like Tarantino, can work wonders for her, as it was the case in Pulp Fiction. These two belong together, and doubt, they will collaborate more in the future, only next time, don't show us her toes!
The cast assembled for the film is very effective, although this version shows too much of Lucy Liu, who is as blank, as a white piece of paper. Perhaps she should be paired next time out with Keanu Reeves; just think of the possibilities and what a great couple they would make!
The master is back, so now, give us Part II.
