Unsure.
I really don't know how to review this. Let me start by saying that no, I did not enjoy this. It didn't seem like the most developed story. De Niro was completely miscast- and is it just me or did Samuel Jackson's character completely change as the film progressed?
By change I mean; his characters starts of like the ultra-cool, clever man like his role in 'Pulp Fiction' but he seems to get weaker as the film goes on. Maybe this is character development- but it didn't feel like that.. his character seemed to fall victim of the pacing of the film... I dunno.. Did I dislike the film because of my high expectations of Quentin Tarantino? I did my best to watch the film and judge it on it's merits, but maybe I was sitting there hoping for a masterpiece. In my mind- it wasn't a masterpiece.. it wasn't even interesting. I didn't care for the characters or anything that was happening. I will give this 3 stars simply because I feel my feelings on the film may be completely misguided and based on my assumptions of what a Tarantino film is. I am all for Tarantino telling a story in this kind of way, He doesn't have to make 'Pulp Fiction' every time.. I just feel that this film doesn't work. Now that the Kill Bill's are done with he's rumoured to be working on a 'Smaller project'.. hopefully that one will work for me. I hope so. Dan dj152@aol.com |
