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
... View MoreLeave it to Tarantino to change up a clichéd genre like this. While widely viewed as his weakest film, it's not as bad as you might think. It's essentially a slasher movie but instead of a knife, Kurt Russell uses a car. It's enough of a twist to make it unique. Add to that the other Tarantino elements that are here, ultra violence, character-building dialogue, and great attention to detail, and you have a good combo. I say "good", because the big problem I have with it is that it's in two parts. The first half is good, the second half is good, but they feel really weird when pushed into one film. If the first half was shorter, maybe I would feel different about it. A lot of characters are established during the first half that don't appear outside of one scene, so it feels kind of wasted. I do like the film though, and I think it worked well when paired with "Planet Terror", I just wouldn't see it again unless I was purposely going through Tarantino's entire filmography.
... View MoreDeath Proof is a great movie. Kurt Russell's character is so bad ass, that it basically makes the movie. Forget about Planet Terror. Death Proof is where it's at.The movie is about a group of girls that are stunt women. They meet Kurt Russell's character at a bar, and he ends up trying to kill them. It backfires, and he soon becomes the prey. And these stunt women definitely have some tricks up their sleeves.The movie runs slow, and the suspense builds. There are lots of scenes where the characters are merely talking, and we just get a sense of regular life and how people deal with each other. It's very slow, and that makes the action and violence much better suited. And there's definitely a lot of that.8 Stars, not bad at all
... View MoreMr. Quentin Tarantino brought back the classic slasher genre by making a film in the style of B-movies from back in the day. Starring Kurt Russell as a psycho who goes by the name of "Stuntman Mike", Death Proof sort of tricks the audience by focusing on a certain group of girls for roughly the first 40 minutes of the film until Stuntman Mike "Does his work". During the rest of the movie, Kurt Russell's character has his eyes set on another group of girls. This time however, things won't go as he expected. Compared to Tarantino's other work, Death Proof doesn't seem so great but in the end, it's a fun thriller to watch.
