Good, but not great

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2016)

Acting was great, especially the three main characters Samuel Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Walton Goggins. I do wonder if Goggins is acting or he's like that. This character was very similar to his role in The Shield. The direction was good but often too slow and the movie was waaaay to long. This would have been a better movie if writer and director had not been the same person. That way the director would have been more critical of exceedingly long scenes and takes. Tarantino makes a big deal of the 70mm format. Really? Who cares today about that? How many people watch a movie in a non-digital theater (or a theater at all)? Gore and non-PC language are par and made sense for the type of movie. Nitpick 1: I doubt white people (or anyone) used "Motherfucker" when the movie was set. Nitpick 2: Tim Roth's character expounds on the difference between Frontier Justice and the job of the Hangman. Would he have done that?
