1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   Showcasing stunt people (Zoe Bell), character studies and heavy actress dialogue, this memorable film takes an unpredictable ride through two timelines (consecutively). Kurt Russell , Rosario Dawson and Sydney Tamiia Poitier makes the biggest impressions.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   Kurt Russell doesn’t quite hit it out of the park (love the subtle entrance of his character), but sustains the leads well, while the wild women nail their lines.

5. Male Stars Great 4.0

6. Female Stars Great 4.0

7. Female Costars Great 4.0

8. Male Costars Great 4.0

10. Film

    Great 4.0

    Quentin Tarantino creates a stuntman’s showcase with surprisingly in-depth dialogue for the female characters. Might be a bit too long for some, but others will enjoy the ride!

11. Direction Great 4.0

12. Play Great 4.0

13. Music Great 4.0

14. Visuals Great 4.0
15. Content

16. Edge

    Obscene 4.6

    A double edged sword – not for the squeeimish, even though Tarantino makes the worst parts fairly predictable. You know the violence is coming, but it still packs a huge impact, which may leave some audiences wanting more action and less talking.

17. Sex Explicit 4.6

18. Violence Monstrous 4.6

19. Rudeness Vile 4.6

21. Reality

    Glib 2.0

    Spectacular stunts (if there was an Oscar category for stunts, this film wins for sure) keep some authenticity, it’s just the circumstances and luck coincidences that bend reality a bit. Russell takes a LOT of punishment too.

22. Circumstantial Glib 2.0

23. Biological Glib 2.0

24. Physical Glib 2.0
