Pointless violence with excessive swearing for what.

Rating: 1/10 (29 July 2019)

I just watched this for the first time. It's just extremely pointless and plotless, except for 30 minutes. It does not build up to any big finale in any way, it just exists. It's like a diary, simple documentation of what happens with no existing reason.
It has four different plotlines in it, wowen together by including some of the same characters. Each could be a tv episode of some show. These plotlines would be equally "good" if they had completely different characters. One of them might be worth seeing. The other ones are diaries.
Tarantino plays around with chronology ... so what? It made it neither better, nor worse. Just pointless.
It has an extreme amount of swearing -most sentences, literally- and violence. Not necessarily a bad thing but definitely not a good one by default either. Just tedious in this case. If the violence was exciting like some shootout this movie could have been worth seeing as braindead action. However it is almost only executions with no drama.
Bruce Willis character Butch has a decent plotline and was a bit exciting as it wasn't obvious how everything was going to end. With some improvement it could be a decent short movie on its own. With a lot of improvement perhaps a decent longer movie.
There is one more scene where a character has a moral decision to make that might be worth seeing. There is no point in seeing the remaining 100 minutes.
This is not the worst movie I have ever seen. It is nothing like The Room, for example. As it is currently the 8th highest rated movie on imdb it is however by far the most overrated one that I have ever seen. I would give it two or three stars for the Butch storyline if I didn't feel like the average has to be lowered as much as possible due to the current absurd 8.9.
One last thing: The hit man that John Travolta plays is sometimes just more of a braindead a**hole (the only word I can come up with to describe) than what is possible.
Everything in this review is of course opinions but I almost dare say most of it is opinions that are common sense.
