Brutal Mastery From Tarantino With The Right Sprinkle Of Humor

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2015)

Absolutely brutal, and I'm taking a half-star just for that reason.
Kidding (mostly.)
Tarantino really pulled one off this time, and that's saying something for a guy with films like "Pulp Fiction" & the "Kill Bill" series under his belt. His other films, written or directed, never quite reached those apexes, but were still good popcorn fare. He's back and definitely flexing his chops with this one, and he, and his excellent cast (Jennifer Jason Leigh nearly out-boxed Samuel L. Jackson! Nearly.) Complete with signature snappy dark comedic dialogue.
Don't know if I'll revisit it - the violence really is off-putting for me - but it *is* worth a revisit.
