This is a good story but . . .

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2016)

I am a fan of Tarantino's work, though I am willing to admit that on occasion he falls short of expectations. This is one of those times for me.
This film shows what a great script writer he is, but, also shows that he cannot direct a film of this style. I would expect a film like this from Clint Eastwood, had he been at the helm I think this film would be up there as one of the great westerns, but, sadly Tarantino falls back on what he often does, profanity and racism to sell his films, often to the point where it masks the story line and this is the case here.
That said there is some great acting:
Samual Jackson is his usual self very polished.
Jennifer Jason Leigh for me is the real star of this film, I've never seen her act so brilliantly as she does in this film, I didn't even recognise it was her!!
Bruce Dern will for me, always be one of Hollywood greats, who has never quite made it to the level his skill deserves.
