The Great Hateful Eight

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2016)

Quentin Tarantino did it, again. I went in knowing very little about it, which is what I like to do because otherwise you set expectations subconsciously. At any rate, his style of directing and writing has always been one to, at minimum, wake up the viewer from the typical cinematic experience we're used to. I've made it a point to see his films on the big screen because I know I'll be shocked. This film is no different. There are great landscapes and smart conversation in the opening that eventually lead to the destination where this film unfolds. It's broken up into chapters with a straight forward story with only one instance of flashing back. Its not your typical western, and you shouldn't expect it to be coming from Quentin. Definitely see it while its in theaters, and if you really appreciate film - you can catch it in road show format. See the film's website for locations near you showing in 70MM.
