So dissapointing... I was really looking forward to see this film - the trailers were great, the reviews were excellent, and the film was... crap.

The Tarantino genius seems to be entirely missing from this film. Did he even really write the script? No memorable scenes, the best dialogue is Brad Pitt talking to his dog. No amazing use of music - the oldies are thrown out one on top of another, as if to fill a soundtrack double CD, but never used to elevate the scene, which is what we loved in other Tarantino films (Django, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs).

Even worse - there is no storyline to follow, no point to the scenes. The violent ending has a bit of umph, but I am starting to suspect that Tarantino is focusing on buying real-estate, or doing something else with his time, and just threw this one together on a weekend to get a paycheck.

And finally - the actors... The only one that was reasonably good was Brad Pitt, who brought some personal attitude to his role and crammed that into the weak dialogue. Leonardo Di Caprio was colorless and boring to a scary degree. It seemed unplausible that he would be a TV-star at all, at any time. With the exeption of The Departed, Di Caprio has never seemed a very good actor, and bad actor + bad script = disaster.

Margot Robbie had some "Joy from My name is Earl" charm to her, but all she really got to do was walk around and look to the front. Al Pacino brought Al Pacino to his utterly non-consequential scene and role (added in just to throw his name on the poster?).

Somebody wrote that they would never have made this film if it wasn't Tarantinos creation, and boy is that a true statement. Even a producer's son would get a scolding from daddy if he wanted something like this greenlighted.

Too long, no point, boring, no story and bad acting. I'm just glad I saw it on TV for free.
