Tarantino Delivers Another Classic

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2016)

Do not believe this movie to be a typical western. This movie is something much more. The Hateful Eight, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, is unique and beautiful with its intense drama and overly clever dialogue, as well as its incredible original score by Ennio Morricone. The plot, somewhat reminiscent of Reservoir Dogs (another Tarantino classic), brings back the classic 'who done it?' scenario and ultimately Tarantino makes it his bitch. Walton Goggins, who plays Sheriff Chris Mannix and my favourite character in this movie, pulls out his best performance yet and one must still hate the character he portrays - out-performing an actor such as Samuel L. Jackson in the process. Nobody in this deserves to live but the ensemble of murderers come together and showcase so much true deceit, and raw emotion. And even though it is not considered an action movie The Hateful Eight still produces some of the most entertaining action sequences whether they're verbal or physical. Once again Quentin Tarantino creates yet another masterpiece and personally I believe this to be his best work yet, even better than Pulp Fiction.
