WORTH CONSUMING!

Watched this movie last night on DVD. I really enjoyed it and it shows what a unique talent Quentin Tarantino is, and so attuned to the times. And tbh this movie was refreshingly free of the sadistic violence that is so often in his movies (there were bits of violence, but nothing squirmy).

It starts out with the first lot of women talking in a car, in the kind of back n forth hip talk that we saw in Pulp Fiction. All the women actors are great, as is Kurt Russell as a grizzled yet enigmatic stuntman.

Later in the film I was pleasantly surprised to see a kiwi actress, who turns out is a real-life stunt woman! Hearing a kiwi accent in a Tarantino movie was strange, yet satisfying!

The car chase sequence at the end is pure adrenalin, very well shot.

Overall this is a great action movie, with all the artistic touches you’d expect from Tarantino (without ever being predictable).
