As usual, Tarantino defaults to a bloody scene

Rating: 6/10 (12 August 2019)

The movie has a unifying concept: one-time leading man and his stunt double, now faced with taking secondary roles. DiCaprio does his usual fine job as the former leading man. His scenes are masterfully credible. And Pitt does an exemplary job as the stunt double, still capable of whipping the toughest in the business. And he does deliver his lines as always...seemingly straining to say something clever, but....
And then we have our director, Mr. Tarantino. The vaunted director simply cannot deliver a movie without bloody, loud, persistent blood and noise. His core skill seems to be the easiest for any director...just slash, shout, shoot, and bleed. No thank you.
