Classic Tarantino

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2016)

12 January 2016 Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - The Hateful Eight. The latest eagerly awaited offering from Quentin Tarantino. That man is a genius. He gives us this film - which took more than thirty minutes to get going - it had a very small cast, little in the way of location with it all mainly being set inside the one log cabin, and a good helping of blood and gore, and you leave the cinema wondering exactly what it was all about. However, his genius lies in his casting, the script, which contained some excellent one liners and his sheer bloody mindedness with which he gets his story across. By the end of the film I was absolutely riveted and had no idea just exactly how things would turn out. A superb performance from Kurt Russell, great to see him on screen, I enjoyed watching the skills of Walton Goggins once again, and the unmistakable talent that is Samuel L. Jackson who only enhances every film that he is in. Not for everyone but if you're a Tarantino fan, make this a must watch.
