Very entertaining and a play in movie format

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2018)

Potentially the level of criticism comes from die hearted Tarantino fans who expected something different (Western inspired characters usually suggest bloodier scenes).
Still, in my view this a masterfully created script which delivers - you feel you are in the room with the characters most of time, and fully engaged in their conundrum.
The movie is very much driven by dialogue (less so by shooting which is perhaps a turnoff for some) and that is what make the script so good - despite not leaving the same scenario for most of the movie, you feel you are in a Cludo board game trying to tell apart the good from the bad guys, without even having a very obvious character to cheer on.
This could work amazingly as a play but as here it is very well transported to film and throughout the inn scenes you are always looking for the characters' next move. You would say the tension is "palpable".
Acting is as always on point although perhaps less demanding than in some other Taranto movies, that I can concerns.
Overall a great movie which takes the Western type world and creates a murder mystery movie from it.
