Hateful 9 (out of 10)

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2016)

No-one luxuriates in language and characterisation like Tarantino, and how his actors revel in the delivery of his lines. Walton Goggins' gives a bravura performance with camp flourishes, as the pitiable and at times Gollumesque maybe sheriff Chris Mannix. Jennifer Jason-Lee deserves an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Daisy Domergue. Whilst this is a long film, it's not like you didn't know what to expect. For my taste, the use of the 'n' word became childish after a while, as if Tarantino acknowledges that it's taboo, and decides to break it over and over again, like a big naughty toddler. The only flaw, however.
