Gore galore

Rating: 3/10 (24 July 2019)

I hadn't seen RD until I bought a used copy of it recently. I was very, very disappointed in the movie. A bunch of whiney hoods that cannot pull off a "perfect" jewelry heist. The plot (what plot) is just an excuse for Tarentino to stretch the limits of gore and sick violence. Again, we must suspend belief that all the shooting in the warehouse does not bring the cops. I realize this movie is set before cell phones, but someone must have heard the 4 or 5 shots Mr Orange gets off before the others arrive. Not to mention the head shots to the poor cop before others arrive. A really stupid Mexican standoff where the two worst guys are shot and Mr White is severely wounded? The timing is not realistic for the gunshots - White has to take out two guys that have their guns trained on him. The torture scenes are just sick. I'm surprised Tarentino didn't allow the lighter to drop on the gasoline trail just to add more torture for his drooling fans. Wouldn't we be better off without Tarentino's style (?) of movies? Even The Godfather had better violence - those thugs were killed off quickly. You wouldn't have one thug (Orange) hanging around bleeding internally and externally, and still able to have enough of his senses to kill Blonde? And why does someone place a gun next to Orange when they are waiting for a doctor? Just so Orange could shoot Blonde - the only reason. There are plot holes everywhere.
