It's not what I have expected at all!

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2019)

I didn't watch the trailer because I want to see it first hand on big screen. I walked into the cinema expecting to see a "traditional" QT film, I kept waiting and waiting for about 40 minutes, before realizing this is different (Yes, the last 30 minutes or so of towards the climax did capture the classic QT: plenty suspense, blood-shed and violence)
I can see some fans be disappointed, since this film is no "Kill Bill", or "Inglourious Basterds". But, I am giving it 9/10 for two reasons:
1) The acting is brilliant. Both Pitt and Leo gave an extremely convincing performance, true to their characters. Leo's delivery of a struggling aging star was some of the best I have seen on the big screen.
2) This film is so diffident than today's CGI infested, action packed, cheap commercial cinema. It's a TRUE classic. It brings back what making film is all about - to submerge the audience into a real experience, deliver the background and atmosphere down to the finest details, making it so authentic and believable.
I did feel the film was a tad too slow, and it wasn't aimed to build around a central story. But, it doesn't take away the brilliance. I give it a solid 9/10, despite being an action fan who'd love to see a classic QT movie.
