Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2015)

Hateful Eight Hateful Eight is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Samuel L. Jackson, Jenifer Jason Leigh, Kurt Russel, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern, Tim Roth, and Micheal Madson along with Channing Tatum and Damian Bicher.
In post-Civil War Wyoming, bounty hunters try to find shelter during a blizzard but get involved in a plot of betrayal and deception. Will they survive?
FINALLY! My most anticipated movie of the year, made by my favorite screenwriter, who made my personal favorite movie, Pulp Fiction, is out and I got to see it in all its 70 mm roadshow glory on the day of its release. Luckily, my expectations were met with one of Tarantino's best works.
Tarantino dominates the spaghetti western genre, by surrounding a simple story with his trademark wit, energy, and skillful twists. He mixes gore with gaiety creating a genre bender like no other. With that said, Tarantino also allows his characters to develop over the course of this movie, thus creating a well-rounded emotional core.
What may very well be the best part of this movie is the banter between the characters. Since all the gruesome action starts more than half way through the movie, it is truly amazing how engaged and invested I was in the story, not at all anxious to get to the "meat." This is thanks to a handful of brilliant performances and the hilarious banter and monologues between them.
Though this may be true after the intermission, half way mark, ended, we, the audience, were treated to some of the most thrilling action sequences of the year, with a phenomenal score playing in the background. We are also treated to some ridiculously devilish twists that were foreshadowed in seemingly irrelevant scenes. There, really, is only one problem with these late game twists. This problem is since they appear so late into the movie, it makes the plot feel really convoluted. Though this isn't always the case, it does occur more times than it normally should.
The aforementioned acting in this movie was close to flawless, in particular, Samuel L. Jackson and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Samuel L. Jackson is, for the most part, known for his epic one liners and his aggressive line delivery, not necessarily his acting chops. Well, he proves his worth by delivering a pitch perfect performance as Major Marquis Warren. Perfectly balancing his character's virtues and vices with a surprising amount of humor and finesse, he creates a truly compelling antihero and deserves a nod for it.
Jennifer Jason Leigh gives the best gives the best performance of her career as prisoner, Daisy Domergue. Embodying a character so different from anyone else in the cast, Leigh manages to take on one of the harder roles in a movie full of hard roles and I believe that, with her recent Globe nomination, she will take home best supporting actress. Although these two fine performers are the stand outs, the entire cast pulls off wonders with their respective roles. Tim Roth is back working with Tarantino, and is clearly happy doing it. Kurt Russel delivers a very nuanced (a word I never thought I'd use in a Tarantino Western) performance as Hangman Ruth. Bruce Dern is very good as is Damien Bicher. Walton Goggins is absolutely brilliant as Sheriff Mannix, delivering an extremely intriguing and over all hilarious performance.
Hateful Eight is a macabre black comedy like no other with a keen blend of banter, monologues, action, and masterful performances from its talented cast. Hateful Eight gets an A or a 9/10.
