Engaging, Enthralling, Simple

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2016)

The film Tarantino gives us here is drenched in the usual nuances of one of his films, blood is shed in copious quantities to provide an explosive exclamation to his story, the dialogue is rich and engaging flowing forth in a manner that is inescapable holding you on the characters every word, the film is beautifully and extravagantly costumed, the scenery is gorgeous and the shooting is excellent if at times less of a filmic marvel and more of an exercise in restraint. However there are issues as with all films, the film is incredibly long, loaded with build up and filled with mystery but the conclusion falls slightly apart simply due to the fact that it cannot live up to what has been built towards. Certain characters feel under used or misplaced with some acting as paper cutouts, lacking anything to really sell them to us. But its still a functional film with plenty of engaging enjoyable elements.
