I Loved It, I Thought It Was Alot Of Fun Especially The Car Chase Scene In The End That Was Cool, This Is Probably Tarantino's Most Underrated Film Next To Jackie Brown

Tarantino made this flick as a homage to old low budget movies that used to be played in drive ins. It goes along with Rodriguez's Planet Terror in a concept called Grindhouse. Two low budget movies that DO NOT take themselves seriously and have one and only purpose. To look cheap, disgusting and funny as hell. They achieve that easily. They're both amazing, each one in a special way. If you go to movies without having a clue of what you're about to watch, do the art a favour and leave it alone.

It appreciate the grindhouse style and what it's trying to achieve. But despite that, the characters are still so annoying. The best part was Kurt Russell who saved the film. It didn't have much of a plot and wastes a lot of time on threads that don't add up to much. A major disappointment for a Tarantino fan but mildly amusing on first watch. Only worth watching if you're a Tarantino fan like me but you won't love it most likely.

Death Proof feels like a distillation of the things which make make Quentin Tarantino exceptional as a director. This film is wonderful, but it's almost contradictory in nature in that there isn't necessarily a narrative drive in the conventional sense. The premise and thriller tone might lead one to believe that this film will be a heart pounding thrill ride, but I think that if you walk into it with that sort of expectation you might find at a certain point that you've become a bit confused or frustrated. You might be pleasantly surprised. I was. Probably though, it would serve your experience better to understand clearly what you're getting into. One of, if not the, greatest strengths of Tarantino as a writer is his mastery of dialogue. It is perhaps the most engrossing aspects of his film making and I've yet to see a film of his that wasn't absolutely exceptional in this aspect. That's very fortunate for any viewer of this film, because the speaking to action ratio is pretty high. Easily well over an hour of this film is the simplest kind of scene, which is people talking. Talking in a bar, talking in a car, talking outside. There is no shortage of talking in this film. If you aren't a fan of the way Tarantino writes conversation then this film will be an absolute nightmare for you. For everyone else, myself included, you'll find a wonderful energy and flow to this film which drives it in a way that nonstop action and excitement really can't. There is action though. This film doesn't lack a sense of urgency in its entirety. The more conventional thriller aspects are executed very well, with the sort of recurring winks to the audience which is integral to the nature of a grindhouse send up such as this. The reservation in use of action actually gives the more adrenaline-fueled segments a nice sort of pay off after an arguably excessive amount of build up. If you find that you can't get into the conversational portion of this film, I somewhat doubt that you'll find it worthwhile to sit through it for what remains.I think the simplest way to sum up Death Proof is that it's just watchable. I of course don't mean that in a derogatory sense. It just has such a feeling of effortlessness in how it flows for nearly two hours on almost nothing but people sort of just hanging out and shooting the breeze. It's may not be a conventional thriller, but really, that's what makes it so great.
