A Jolly Good Time!

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2015)

Trust Quentin Tarantino to give us a good time & he does! 'The Hateful Eight' is A Jolly Good Time, thats high on violence, sadistic humour & relentless entertainment. The Performances are Top-Notch, while the Writing & the Direction by the Genius, are purely awesome!
'The Hateful Eight' Synopsis: In the dead of a Wyoming winter, a bounty hunter and his prisoner find shelter in a cabin currently inhabited by a collection of nefarious characters.
At 3 hours, 'The Hateful Eight' refuses to slow-down & turns out to be a memorable watch. Watching 8 despicable people come together & go at each-other in 6 brilliant chapters has never been so interesting before. Tarantino nails every bit of 'The Hateful Eight' & celebrates human madness with no filters!
I loved 'The Hateful Eight', because it blends violence, sadistic humour & entertainment, perfectly. This is Typical, Vintage Tarantino showing his powers yet again! His Screenplay is fast-paced & brutal. But it never falters. This is among Tarantino's Finest Screenplays to date. As for his Direction, Tarantino creates a world of unruliness, like only he can! Robert Richardson's Excellent Photography & Fred Raskin's Razor-Sharp Editing compliment Tarantino's twisted vision. A Special Mention for the Awesomely Choreographed Action-Sequences & Ennio Morricone's uplifting Score.
'The Hateful Eight' is filled with Great Performances. Jennifer Jason Leigh takes the lead with a Tour-De-Force performance, thats impossible not to be haunted by. Leigh is unstoppable here, nailing her wicked character to the T. Get The Oscar already, will ya! Kurt Russell is in top-form! And its so good to see the Legend portray such a menacing, violent part. Samuel L. Jackson is absolutely terrific & shines all through his role. Walton Goggins is astounding; easily his best work to date. Demián Bichir is perfectly morbid, while Tim Roth & Michael Madsen are flat-out fabulous. The Legendary Bruce Dern dominates much of the proceedings, adding another highlight in his late film career. Channing Tatum fits in correctly in the Tarantino setting & sparkles in his brief bit.
On the whole, 'The Hateful Eight' is a mighty winner! Do Not Miss!
