YES, I just said it, and before I tell you what it is, I want to tell you a story. It's a story of a group of soldiers during the second world war, very well trained, very driven, and ordered by their commander to kill and scalp 100 Nazi's EACH! what makes this story more interesting is that all of the elite soldiers are Jewish. Sure this is a bit of a fantasy since a huge % of Jewish people were wiped out by that Hitler guy, but what person in their right mind wouldn't want to see some retribution, and a better end than we got(which means lots of people saved from that maniac and his friends)?
OK so The movie I'm talking about is from director Quentin Tarantino, and it's called
Inglourious Basterds
.........................92% ........................YEP .............................92 ..........%
Now if it wasn't for a slightly long run time, due to some very "talky" parts(as is typical in a Q.T. movie), it would have rated a point or 2 higher.
So you know the basics of the story and what I'll say is Brad PItt is really overacting here, but it's perfect for the role, Eli Roth is great, but Diane Kruger is let down in a role that could have been better ended up being more of a throw away than anything else.
To be honest though, this is a movie made for 2 people, and they are Mélanie Laurent as Shosanna Dreyfus, a "Jew" that changes her identity after a run in with Col. Hans Landa early in the movie, that is next seen running a theatre in France, she is Enthralling, captivating, motivated, and pretty hot to boot. The second person is Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa, and he's the reason to see this movie, sure the movie is well scripted, well acted and a hell of a lot of fun, but Cristoph Waltz adds so much to this movie that anybody else cast is his role would have been a HUUUUUgge Disappointment, he funny, bright, engaging, and charismatic as a "Jew Sniffer", hired by Hitler to hunt down all of the Jews left hiding in Nazi occupied France.
Fantastic, check it out, and don't be suprised if you come out thinking that this is Q.T's best flick EVER, I'm certainly thinking that.
