Reservoir Dogs Part 2 ?

Rating: 6/10 (15 February 2016)

I'm sure that I cannot be the only person that thought the recent Star Wars movie was very similar to the original Star Wars movie. This thought crossed my mind again when watching "The Hateful Eight". It reminded me a lot of Reservoir Dogs. Quite possibly my favourite Tarantino scene ever was the opening of Reservoir Dogs in the cafe. There are a few scenes in Hateful Eight which are somewhat similar to that scene in terms of dialogue and style. Obviously that can only be a good thing.
Anyway although the Tarantino stories are very diverse you are more or less guaranteed a great script. The Hateful Eight is set in Winter and follows a bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russel) as he takes his captor Daisy (Jennifer Jason Leigh) for reward. The cast are excellent and the movie is gripping throughout. Incidentally some people may think it's a bit short of action, but the action is in the words rather than the deeds.
