An Uninteresting Bloodbath

Rating: 3/10 (17 November 2017)

(Flash Review)
There was a lot of dialog in this which is usually a strong point for Tarantino films but here it dragged, especially with a hefty 3:07 run time. Sure a few interesting quips now and then but nothing close to or as slick and clever as the diner coffee scene in Reservoir Dogs. The story has a little timeline shifting as with his classic films yet not so clever story twists and turns in my opinion. Then throw in some fairly pointless chapter title cards. This of course being a Tarantino film, there is the expected Tarantino over the top bloody moments and cold blooded killing that were nasty gross at times. Part of what took me out of the film was the overly accurate sound effects that didn't feel authentic as well as scenes with rich details that also felt fake and obviously a stage. On to the plot: a stagecoach rumbles through a rural land during a winter in the Civil War era with a bounty hunter and his apprehended female bounty. He is taking her in for an old fashioned hangin'. Yet not everyone wants her dead. Will she get rescued and by whom? Who will end up with the upper hand? How many gallons of blood will Tarantino spill and splatter this time around? Overall, this should and could have been much better. Needed a better and smarter script.
