A twist of Tarantino

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2003)

Having seen Kill Bill vol. 1 leaves me with an annoying feeling... a feeling I can't get rid of, at least not for the next couple of months, as it is a feeling of wanting more... much more. Tarentino is back in the game with this monster movie, a subtle mixture of classic Hong-Kong style martial arts kick ass movie (featuring Sonny Chiba!), the grotesque amount of blood to match "Braindead", and last but not least, the extremely morbid humor of the master Tarantino himself. The movie mixes the madness of "A clockwork Orange" with the genius of "Resevoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", adding a twist of "From dusk 'till dawn" in the gory, limb-cutting scenes seen throughout the movie. The master touch is, however (in my humble oppinion) the very subtle and almost disguised morbid humor of Tarantino... I won't give away all the pearls of the movie here, discover them for yourself, but just to give an example, notice the name of the box of cereals in the beginning of the movie... Tarantino is back... big time...
