It's a Quentin Tarantino movie with all the usual corks. It was fun, amusing and it scratches that Western itch very well.
There's nothing else to say. The cinematography was really good, the props were solid, the acting was superb (for the most part and even the parts that came off kind of weak reminded me of certain Spaghetti Westerns). Tarantino story was slightly surprising but not overly. And it kept my attention which is pretty impressive for a 2 hour and 40-minute long film.
You kind of gather that nobody story is straightforward and that everybody's probably lying about something.
Part of me now wants to see a secondary film but based around Zoë Bell the actress who played the New Zealand girl.
I'm about to get into some details about the end of the film so what for some reason you haven't seen this well stop reading my crappy words and go enjoy the film for yourself.
The last 15 minutes features of debate in where a bunch of criminals try to tell the Soul Survivors of the entire gun fights that if they let them live they'll forget their transgression and move on with their life. And I'm so happy that the film just has the main character slaughter them.
I can't stand movies where people decide; ''Hey maybe we should hear out the violent Killers. Maybe they won't lie about this'').
It's just such an arbitrary and lazy way to push a storyline in a film. Having your characters act so stupid as the set up an entirely new situation. But not here. They just shoot everybody and then hang the one girl who is at the centre of all this. And it's wonderful, it's suits that bloodlust down to the ground.
Oh and the soundtrack was really good too. I know that's a whole thing with Quentin Tarantino because apparently he doesn't have original soundtracks or something like that. And this one didn't really either. Usually I wouldn't care that much about any of this crap there was a part towards the end of the movie where one of the soundtrack sounded very similar to another film I remember watching. It really take me out of the film at all but it was one of those awkward moments. Much like Kurt Russell smashing 100 year old guitar. I didn't know that was a thing until after the film was done either. Though that does explain blanks reaction because it seems so uncharacteristic of the entire film.
There's nothing else for me to say. It's one of those movies that falls right in the middle. There's nothing bad to rip on and there's nothing so wonderful that I just have to sit there and commit paragraph after paragraph to it.
Great movie, not really worth talking about and anything that can be talked about has been done somewhere else by better people.
