3hr movie - but didn't feel that long - straight forward movie with gun shots

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2016)

Compared to most movies made in the last couple of years, it was great.
The title likely refers to 8 persons confined in a room. None of them are especially nice. There is some mystery that is spelled out clearly with a flash back later on showing you exactly what the plot is about.
Though the movie is extremely long, time went quickly as it had no boring moments. I expected it to be boring as most movies with such duration is...I admittedly watched the movie in two parts.
Most of the movie is shot in just one room. Would think it was relatively low budget, aside from actors' salary.
The movie has some violence as people get shot in a very graphic way, no female nudity, and plenty use of the politically incorrect n- word. A very rough bunch of people.
Ending was not bad. Quite a few will die.
You'll likely enjoy it if you like Tarantino. He always has a certain style, that not everyone may enjoy - but this movie was pretty straight forward, which is part of what makes it enjoyable :)
