Don't mess around with The Bride

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2004)

Quentin Tarantino's conclusion of the "Kill Bill" films is nothing short of brilliant. He makes it clear he is a master of this genre. In fact, this new film can stand on its own, as far as the story goes. It makes perfect sense in more ways than the first installment where there was more action, but perhaps the narrative is not as clear as in this one.
Mr. Tarantino is greatly helped by his choice of Uma Thurman to play his heroine. As with the other film, Ms Thurman demonstrates she is up to the task of battling whatever enemies who dare come her way.
The casting is excellent. David Carradine, Michael Parks, Michael Madsen, Darryl Hannah, Bo Svenson, Gordon Liu, and the rest of the crew play well under the guidance of Quentin Tarantino.
A satisfying time at the movies.
