The Nail in the Coffin

Rating: 3/10 (6 July 2017)

What a shame. A career that began with three wonderful films has succumbed to self-indulgence and self-satisfaction.
The Hateful Eight is a bloated mess. While the cast and cinematography salvage some scenes, there is clearly no one around to say, "No, QT. No." Every whim is indulged and the results are often cartoonish and shallow. Story and character are tertiary to the childish impulses and stylistic cribbing that guide this failure.
A once promising career may still do good business at the box-office, but the goods are stale and quickly forgotten. Avoid this mess.
