Painfully weak story punctuated by absurdist and gratuitous violence.

Rating: 5/10 (3 November 2019)

There's no denying Tarantino's success as creative artist and film industry player, and I give him all due respect. Having said that, this project does not succeed from a cinematic perspective. It's a bloated and meandering story that, in the end, does not justify the time we spent together. An over the top violence and death scene near the end only made me feel disgusted and used. I don't often feel compelled to write a film review, but I am motivated to call out this film project as a (highly) profitable creative failure. It's a shame to think of what could have been done with that $90,000,00. Take some time to re-engage - re-edit and re-release a new and improved "Director's Cut" that's shorter, more focused, and more entertaining.
