Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2016)

The Hateful Eight tells a story set in the post Civil War era. On a cold & stormy winter day in Wyoming, a lone stagecoach is racing through the snow. The stagecoach's passengers are, a bounty hunter named Major Marquis Warren(Samuel L. Jackson), a hangman named John Ruth(Kurt Russell), Ruth's prisoner Daisy Domergue(Jennifer Jason Leigh) & a man named Sheriff Chris Mannix(Walton Goggins). As the blizzard gets worse, the stagecoach stops at Minnie's Haberdashery. Major Warren, Ruth, Domergue & Mannix decide to stay at Minnie's Haberdashery till the blizzard subsides & it's safe for them to continue their journey. While at the Haberdashery, they meet four more people who are also staying there, till the snow storm ends. As the hours go by, the atmosphere becomes tense & not everyone is who they say they are.
The Hateful Eight is a mind blowing film! Director Quentin Tarantino proves yet again, that he makes some of the boldest, most original & best films in Hollywood. This film has elements of comedy, action & drama. It is also extremely thrilling & there is a little bit of suspense thrown in, too. What's really interesting is that, since all the characters in the film are questionable, you really can't guess the true motives of anybody. Basically, The Hateful Eight has all the ingredients that make Tarantino movies, unforgettable classics. I would recommend you to give this one a miss if, you hate violence with tons of gore. The music by Ennio Morricone is perfect & sets the tone for the film. The performances are the highlight of the film. Samuel L. Jackson steals the show as Major Marquis Warren. Jackson's performance as the treacherous major, is flawless & one of his best performances on celluloid. Kurt Russell is brilliant as John Ruth. Jennifer Jason Leigh is another standout performer as Daisy Domergue. Leigh portrays everything her imprisoned character goes through, effortlessly. Walton Goggins is outstanding as Sheriff Chris Mannix. Demian Bichir is good as Bob. Tim Roth is spectacular as Oswaldo Mobray. Michael Madsen is great as Joe Gage. Bruce Dern is fantastic as General Sandy Smithers. James Parks is impressive as O.B Jackson. Last but definitely not the least, Channing Tatum is superb in his short yet significant role, as Jody. The supporting characters are effective as well. The Hateful Eight is a must watch for all Tarantino fans & everyone who wants to watch one of the best films of the year.
