I wonder how Madonna feels about this?

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2000)

Tarantino being from my home town, it is quite hard to revile one of his films, but when the time comes that he actually makes a bad film, I will be first in line to tell him so. In the mean time, I am in awe of the man's utter brilliance and grasp on dialogue. This film actually makes the antagonists (GASP) human. No one actor breaks away from the pack in this film since it seems their natural banter and characterization are united. It is an ensemble piece sort of "The Big Chill" on crack. Yet every aspect is filled with whimsy and genius. Tarantino's blatant disregard for feelings and the faint are exhibited through many a grotesque torture and shoot out scenes. While making the most violent piece of cinema ever, Tarantino ultimately launches in to an anti-violence tirade made relevant by exposing the utter evil and absurdity of death.
