It's in the title...he knew exactly what he was doing.

Rating: 4/10 (26 December 2015)

But...I did not like it.
This was a huge disappointment for all the reasons already written here by other reviewers. It does not feel like a Tarantino flick and still I feel he knew this flack was coming and actually planned it that way.A sort of jump to the side, turn it upside down move and see how people react to it.
Even stranger so ,this movie is an"8".It starts of making a circle,in the middle it changes point and than makes a new circle.Maybe I'm reading to much in to this but it's just something I noted in hindsight.
One of the biggest problems was knocking off Kurt Russel in the middle of the movie and shifting the main character from him to Samuel L. Jackson.Besides that a lot of side characters feel heavily underused and really only matter for the "numbers" to add up. Jennifer Jason Leigh gets the best performance out of this but in the end also started to feel very repetitive.
I had serious issues rating this so low,it might change in the future because I will see it again some time.
I do recommend you go see it. If your a Tarantino fan ,lower your expectations.
It's a good movie just not the greatest Tarantino.
