Exciting, intelligent and - Tarantinous

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2016)

Quentin takes his time. But when he finish the movie, that's really something. I read about this one being most sick/terrifying, but I don't agree. He got more blood in some previous works. Still, it is Tarantino, no doubt. His famous semi-paradox dialogs, camera, somewhat dirty ambient, a lot of swearing of course. And a great homage to western movies, mixed with detective genre. Russell is back. And his performance is really great. It seems that all of the crew did it in a so casual, effortless fashion. Madsen, Roth, Jackson - that's so tarantinous. J.J. Leigh in a "male" role. It is not easy to make movie that grabs you and keeps you awake from the beginning to the end. 8 is such movie. When I saw the "western, black guy" announcement, I thought "Oh, no, another Django", but I was wrong. This is (in my opinion, of course) better than Django.
