THE HATEFUL EIGHT


A bit like sex and pizza - Tarantino is never really bad. Asccording to several reviews the movie is for better and worse. Talk, talk, talk, kill, talk, talk, talk, kill.... However, mostly talk in the first act and more kill in the second. You must prepare yourself for a chamber drama ala Death and the Maiden, where around 85-90% of the action takes place indoor and in two locations. This, in itself, this brings an intense atmosphere and a unique edge to the movie, and this in combination with him exploring the mystery/whodonnit genre for the first time. Moreover, the way it is shot brings a cool retro vibe and the music, by Ennio Morricone, almost makes it worth seeing the movie in itself. Summa-sum, this is not Tarantino's best movie, however, it ranks in th better half together with Pulp and Inglorius and nomatter - Tarantino just has to be watched!
