Certainly Stands Out from Tarantino's Previous Work,

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2016)

The Hateful Eight is a terrific movie with a very well written plot and an outstanding cast. It's a very engrossing, intimate film as we follow eight people forced to stay in a cabin together as a storm breaks loose. We learn a lot about the characters as the story progresses, connections they have with one another, as well as many unexpected twists.
The plot does drag on, there are times when I felt like we where learning more about these characters and their situations than was necessary, there definitely could have been at least fifteen minutes cut.
The ensemble cast is top notch, Quentin Tarantino always brings the very best out of Samuel L. Jackson, there are also stunning performances from the likes of Walton Goggins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kurt Russell. Each cast member adds to the eerie, somewhat discomforting atmosphere. Thrilling and well acted, it may not be Tarantino's best work, but it's certainly unique, I would recommend The Hateful Eight to anyone looking for a good drama or mystery.
Eight very different individuals are forced to stay in Minnie's Haberdashery together while they wait for a storm to die down.
Best Performance: Samuel L. Jackson
