The eighth film about eight wretches

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2016)

"Eight" - a western, combining elements of drama, comedy and detective. The director of this picture is a man who needs no introduction - Quentin Tarantino. Each of his film - an event in the world of cinema.
Because of his talent as a scenarist, he twisted a simple story that its simplicity does not prevent you to have fun. Tarantino has always excellent scenarios and "Eight" is no exception. Duration of film is three hours and almost all of this time action unfolds in one large room, but the film does not look tired. Sometimes it seems that Tarantino was inspired by such films as " Dial M for Murder»" by Alfred Hitchcock and "Panic Room" by David Fincher, these movie is also conversational, and filmed in one indoors, but they are very interesting to watch. Tarantino is the king of dialogue, he is one of the few today who can transform an empty chatter into interesting squabbles between the characters that grab more abruptly of any action film. Characters is also very bright and memorable. They rapidly expanded in the course of the film, so you will change the attitude to almost every one of them. But they do not have a particular depth. Because characters are many and everyone is given an equal amount of screen time. Tarantino to the smallest detail described the fleeting attitude of the characters inside haberdashery, but to represent them outside of it very difficult. Their backstory did not have enough time and space, so that about life each one we can judge from the fragmentary information from the dialogues. The script came not perfect, but I was satisfied. Events in the film is so unpredictable that regularly receives gap pattern, enjoying spectacular dialogues, and subtle situational humor was diluted tensed to the limit atmosphere.
As for installation, I liked it in general, but it has its own peculiarities. The film is literally a chamber, scale and wealth of locations is not here, but the room itself is where the action occurs, is very detailed. Brand Tarantino's violence in the film is present, but it also has been minimized. But the music, as always, at height, which was written by a talented Ennio Morricone. The film is very reminiscent of "Reservoir Dogs", where the main action takes place in an enclosed space and the main stake was made on the dialogue and the relationship the characters. "Eight" is essentially a theatrical production and haberdashery shop is a stage beyond which there is absolutely nothing, but to break away from this play is still impossible, of course, there is a great merit of the actors. Cast in Tarantino movies is a real balm for the soul and the eyes of any movie lover. Michael Madsen is looks briskly. Samuel L. Jackson never fails to fascinate. Kurt Russell is slightly surprised, unusual to see him in such a brutal role, but here he looks like a glove. Jennifer Jason Leigh, perhaps, played a most interesting role. Tim Roth left mixed feelings, on the one hand, he played better than Jackson and Russell, but on the other I have visited many times the feeling that in its place should be Christoph Waltz. But most of all I was impressed by Walton Goggins himself and his character. The whole movie he is so consistent and so cool reveals at the end, that at some point even eclipsed Jackson. In general, in the acting of "Eight" - this is the second powerful force after the script, the quality of which is not subject to any doubt.
Overall was excellent dialogue unpredictable film. Yes, sometimes it seems that it is too theatrical, but on the background of all - it is a strong Western, which is worth a look all fans of the genre, film lovers and fans of Tarantino.
