movie review - Kill Bill vol 1
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Halifax, 2004.04.15
This is a movie about a woman who is beaten, shot, and left for dead by a bizarre international gang. Style always plays a big part in Tarantino movies, but here it seems to be in the driver's seat. Anything more than the most cursory plot comes second in this film, while comic-book violence and drama run wild.
It's amusing and it's slick and what the hell it's a Tarantino film. But you have to invest a lot to keep this going and it's no Pulp Fiction and there's no Roger Avary. It's almost hard to imagine there ever was.
Not recommended.
