If you love violence and the N word watch this movie

Rating: 2/10 (6 January 2017)

I hated this movie. The gratuitous use of the N words and the blood-splattering aside, the plot is a drawing room drama with guns and the only remotely interesting character is Jennifer Jason Leigh's. There was such opportunity with these actors and the talent behind the camera, but alas, it was not meant to be. QT is like a teenager who only wants the thrill of a cranium exploding or using a forbidden word. There is not much here that holds one's attention. In fact, despite the richness of the set and excellent lighting, I was still bored by the repetitive dialogue that led nowhere significant and I ended up only noticing the use of the N word. If the inspiration for this film was in fact Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" then it is a miserable fail. The characters simply were not fully realized on a script level. The actors did their best, but could not rescue it from the hands of the naked Emperor-Director; and at three hours - tortured is how I felt by the end, especially with no plot twist worthy of the indulgent film. This is a big thumbs down for me.
