The newest addition to the Tarantino legacy will not disappoint. It's everything you'll expect from the genius Quentin: a gripping story line infused with historical fact, fast paced screen play, quirky match cuts and brilliant one liners. The characters are simply superb, you know you have a recipe for a good film when each individual you're watching on screen seems like they've all come from their own separate, complex story. DiCaprio did a fine job as this pictures villain, but my personal favorite performance came from Christoph Walz playing Schultz the German bounty hunter. I loved this character! He was the obvious refreshing take on 'the only non-racist white' in the film, serving as a sort of good samaritan as he takes Django under his wing and offers him freedom in return for partnership. I just felt the character was original and well portrayed, and also refreshing given the era in which the plot is set. Well done Walz! Even though there is light in this film, there is the subtle message that is a little alarming which is obviously the reminder that this is part of true history. There are a few scenes that are hard to watch, and much like Inglorious Bastards, this film will remind you of the suffering some of the human race were put through... but with a few uplifting twists and a sort-of happy ending.
Rating: 4 Stars
Highlight: The KKK Scene was hilarious!
See if: You're interested in black american history, you're a Quentin fan or want to see a
drama/comedy/action mash up
Don't see if: You're sensitive to violence (although not frequent), not a Quentin fan
