Six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive Daisy Domergue, race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren, a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix, a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob, who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage, and Confederate General Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all… (c) null 2015 Visiona Romantica, Inc. All rights reserved.

A simple story that devulges piece by piece and pretends to be witty and intriguing in fact they have just given us the story backwards. This is CSI quality and not worthy of a major motion picture. Production was terrible, they smashed an original period instrument loaned to them by Martin Guitar Museum and kept the scene in the movie even though it was a bad transition to cut. They also dragged chains over it and lumped it around. I just can't believe how amateur this movie was. Tarantino is slipping.

If you're looking for a film to keep your eyes glued to the screen, this might just be it. A fantastic movie in every quality and in classic Tarantino style, Quentin pulls together what is another loud and proud collection builder to his catalogue of ultra violence and intense screenplay; only made more exciting and convincing by acting legends like Samuel Jackson. The only thing that could possibly turn you off this film is is the ending, but I doubt that it isn't for you.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I came hungry and thirsty for the best showing of a master auteur. For the most part, that's what we get - the build-up is Gorgeous - good characterization, tense setting, subtle clues that most folks aren't what they seem. But for every genuine clue, there are lines or moments that tend to be unintentional red herrings; this is most-unfortunate, because I felt like I was sussing-out various characters traits, when in fact I was seeing a mirage of directorial development. Pair this with two scenes that Really draw me back out of the action (both put on Samuel L. Jackson's character) results in me being unable to give it a solid five. I rate this film four stars, because a good four-fifths of it are enjoyable (especially with a cool ginger-whiskey and a warm country-style meal), and I confess the ending is satisfying (for the most-part). The best parts? This is Western with an element of Noir, dressed up like a drawing-room murder mystery. GREAT for atmosphere. Again, rich characters - but a couple of the extreme or "edgy" choices by Tarantino make it jarring - but only for those moments. Characters shifting alliances and politicking in a paranoia-inducing situation is well-done, evolving pragmatically between strangers-turned-rivals-turned-friends - and could have been seen-through a bit further to satisfying realizations. On top of that, we get a narrator in some of the chapters, but not others - a more-consistent format would have been a masterful finishing touch (I'm usually in favor of light narration, but in this film it's unnecessary - the action onscreen takes is usually self-evident). So, Watch This Movie, but don't expect your dad's western; expect a western from someone who shoots people in a fit of passion, albeit someone understands what sparks that passion. It's an immersive tale of frontier justice.
