A long drawn out blood western, mixed with race and politics and themes of search and find.

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2016)

"The Hateful Eight" is certainly not a bad movie, yet really for me it wasn't a good one either as it's long drawn out style of conversations between character is a little to long and made me feel tired. If you know anything about Quentin Tarantino you know that the director likes to make long films and his themes often mix race and politics and most of the characters are on search and find missions that usually end in a blood type destroy mode for all involved. And that's a pretty good sum up for rightfully Quentin's 8th film called "The Hateful Eight". This film can be a tribute somewhat to the old style B western films of the 1970's and it's a tease of action and adventure. Set in a snow covered Wyoming after the civil war this tale involves the travels of a bounty hunter(played well by Kurt Russell)who in his wagon carries a beat up and wild female prisoner(played strong by Jennifer Jason Leigh). Upon the journey they encounter a former Union officer(played to crazy form by Samuel L. Jackson)who wants to cut a deal yet all in involved have the intentions of blood, guns, and mayhem. Rounding out the cast in supporting form is Bruce Dern, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Demian Bichir. While most fans of Tarantino will like it and western B film fans might have a joy still to me it's not Quentin's best it's much of a tease of dark blood humor as I was asking for more still it's an okay film to see.
