This two-part film has to be the
greatest revenge flick done in a long time, all thanks to master
writer/director Quentin Tarantino. The fourth movie by Tarantino gives us the
epic revenge story of Beatrix Kiddo A.K.A. The Bride A.K.A. Black Mamba an ex-member
of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad who is targeted by her former boss Bill
after finding out that she is pregnant with his kid and she is getting married
to another guy. This epic action drama pays homage to many film genres like
kung fu cinema, samurai films, Italian spaghetti westerns and exploitation
movies all while making numerous pop culture references and an extensive use of
popular music.
There’s no doubt in my mind that
this is one of the best action flicks of the first decade of the new millennium
and that it is also one of my personal favorites, being that I love Quentin
Tarantino and all. Everything in this movie is great, the acting, directing,
choice of music, cinematography and script, its homage to movie genres and film
movements, its use of anime and its use of buckets of blood and exploitative
violence. The picture in its entirety is just a masterpiece of cinema and
storytelling, just like I have told my friends multiple times “It is a novel
told through the seventh art”.
Rating:
5 stars out of 5.
