Amazing Cinematography, Brutally honest marriage of audio and video, never felt long for a moment

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2006)

Absolutely awesome. I have had a hard time justifying going to spend the money on any of the garbage that has been coming out of Hollywood lately. But I made a serious point to go see this, something fresh from on old familiar face, or wait two, maybe three, or four, depends how old you are. One thing I think makes a great director is the use of inanimate objects as characters. If you haven't seen this film, watch the Boston State Capitol building appearances. It says more with no duologue than some entire scripts do. Some songs are used with more visual themes than others, but the audio counterpart to the eye-popping candy is so intense I just couldn't wait for the next scene to unfold. And as for Jack well, very very good, best I've seen him in full tilt since the shining. Many people are saying this is Tarantino Based. I am almost thirty, I remember pre-Tarantino. Well pop Tarantino that is, pre Pulp Fiction who knew about his hits, only a few in early years of high school had even watched reservoir dogs. What happened to him is he's gone Hollywood, who else would take such interest in splitting a feature like kill bill into 2 parts, oh yeah ticket sales, revenues, I say CUT IT! The departed said what it wanted to say, THE RAT GETS THE CHEESE! America today needs more films like this that don't have a happy ending, and expose the dirtier side of "God's Country". Had me from the first scene.
