Another classic from Tarantino

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2016)

I have waited to watch this movie for a long time. As I hail from India and as the Indian Censor Board is so concerned about the "Indian culture" being "tainted" by Hollywood movies that they don't release R-rated movies in India, so I had to wait because the name of the game here is PATIENCE.
This is one of the best movies set in an indoor set-up. The movie is claustrophobic. Each person has a past and Tarantino makes you feel you are there right inside Minnie's Habadashery. It's almost a amalgamation of Reservoir Dogs and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It's a FILM. A film which has been crafted with the care and respect with which movies should be made and I am always in awe that how confident Tarantino is that his concept of movies will always work, and it does. Nowadays movies have become short, to the point and in a way has shortened our tenacity to be patient but then comes Tarantino with a plot which keeps you at the edge of the seat. Well truth be said, the plot is very simple but it is the narration that keeps it interesting.
The plot is that Sam L.Jackson is a retired war veteran turned bounty hunter who happens to come into the path of Kurt Russell who is taking a woman to hang. Due to a blizzard they have to make a pit stop at a inn so that they can wait till the blizzard passes by. At the inn waits 4 unknowns already, each of whose past is unknown. Sam and Kurt form a circle of trust as they start suspecting the four boarders in the inn.
Everybody carries out their parts in the best manner but the whole movie mainly rests on the shoulders of Samuel L. Jackson. Watch the movie alone for a monologue by him. It is riveting. It made me crawl away from my laptop screen. I think Channing Tatum was a miscast in this perfectly made film. A better actor would have probably nailed the role within the given screen time.
It is a Tarantino classic. If you have watched Tarantino's movies and are used to his style of movie making you are sure to love this one.
