Running time?

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

I have seen this movie today and was very pleased with it, having thought that "Kill Bill Vol 1" was magnificent. Uma Thurman's performance is top-notch, as is that of David Carradine; I have never been more impressed by any previous performance by Michael Madsen as by the one he delivers here....well done!! It is intriguing to note that "imdb" itself lists the running time as 136 minutes, while "Rotten Tomatoes" gives it as 130 minutes; in New Zealand it is screening at 138 minutes, so perhaps our censor has passed some extra footage which was cut out in other countries. The NZ censor has been doing a good job over recent years.
