Interesting though overly long

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2018)

The Hateful Eight is set in Wyoming in the years after the Civil War, as bounty hunter John "The Hangman" Ruth (Kurt Russell) takes his prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) into a remote haberdashery to wait out an impending blizzard. Along the way, he picks up Maj. Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a former Union Army officer who has also gone into the bounty hunting trade. The company they find at the store turns out to be a bunch of killers, all hiding their own agendas.
This film is quite interesting within its engaging dialogue and scenery but does drag on at certain points. With a running time of 2 hours 48 minutes, it does get quite overlong and boring at certain points and was slightly difficult in watching and staying away for the entire film. There are good characters which does make the film work, as Samuel L. Jackson is in typical form as he helps carries the film, along with Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Walter Goggins who steals his scenes.
Overall, the Hateful Eight isn't an easy film to digest as it is violent, offers a lot of imagery and contains a little amount of action, with much talking. Such as all Quentin Tarantino films, this isn't for everyone.
