dellamorte-44869 Well made film just a little derivative it's basically; a reservoir dogs style tale of paranoia, set in an old west back drop shot like a stage play
Mary Doyle Watched on Neflix. I just clicked play, having a toothache in the wee small hours I couldn't have cared less about the details , anything to concentrate on would do. The psycho of Hollywood Quentin Tarantino is the director so I knew I was in for a crimson tide of gore, instead I got a tsunami. Shock factor always disappears with Tarantino's films the more gore he adds the less it effects, it says more about his mind than mine. Starting hours before a huge blizzard is due a bounty hunter (Kurt Russell) has is prey , a female worth 10 grand dead or alive, on the way to look for the safety of Minnie's Haberdashery, the coach and six picks up another bounty hunter (Samuel L. Jackson) then a would be sheriff (Walton Goggins) on his way to the town were the female Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is to be hanged. Arriving at Minnie's Jackson notices a lot is wrong, Minnie, her man and three employees aren't there. A lone Mexican man has been put in charge of the Haberdashery. The Haberdashery is the stage for the story. Inside the sprawling one room, is a confederate general, An English hangman and a gunslinger who's writing his autobiography. Agatha Christi's ten little Indians came to mind. With devil may care racism, needless murder etc., the story unfolds. Leigh's face has so much done to it , elbows in it, fists, hot stew, bloody vomit and a spatter of brains, she looked worse than Carrie on prom night by the end. 3 stars because the toothache eased by the end of a long boring pointless movie.
Vladimir Tokarchuk Ok real talk, anybody giving this movie anything under a 5 is absolutely tripping balls, the kind of person who only watches Fast and Furious and Triple X, and thinks that movies like The Purge and 50 Shades of Grey are classics and standards for storytelling. How can this movie be under average, even when judged purely by "was I entertained or not?" Movies like The Room are rated 3-4, and yet this high quality film is getting 1-3 stars. WTF.As for my 10/10, I understand that raises skepticism, but what it comes down to for me, like all of you, is whether I was highly entertained or not, and for me to be entertained I need great dialogue and great characters. And this movie has fantastic characters and fantastic dialogues. And every moment throughout this movie I was captivated and wanted to know what was going to happen next. AND, it is NOT predictable. This movie navigates the complex space of 8+ characters whose fates have overlapped in a small outpost during a blizzard, and as the story unfolds so do, in parallel, the complex personalities and relationships these characters have with each other. For some pasts are intertwined, for others the future, and for everyone the present. Not one of these characters is good or bad, they are just people with their own motives, life experiences and understandings. I think that those people saying that there are strong political undertones in this movie, they are just projecting and it's something they've carried with themselves into this viewing experience. I did not even think there was anything like that until I read some reviews on here. All I saw a story told in a snapshot of time.Highly recommend this movie -- reserve an evening, put your phones and distractions away, turn the lights and noises off, and hit the play button.
tureisha I have always kind of liked tarantino style but this one is to be the masterpiece of his career..beside the exegerrations of the fatal scenes one can feel the reality of emotions and passions in them
