Highly Underrated

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2019)

Tarantino's The Hateful Eight is a film that I could understand being misjudged. It is a slow burner, and even in that, nothing great happens throughout the movie. The screenplay is good, if not great, but even that does not shine. The characters are interesting, but not very deep.
I think what makes this film so great is the sense of isolation, the claustrophobic feeling you get when you are stuck in a room with too many people for too long. The characters cannot help but interact with each other, and the personalities are forced out of people.
I must also say that Kurt Russell's character is one of my favorites, as the bounty hunter determined to hand over personally his current bounty, for whom most of the story takes place.
Really good movie.
