This is one of those films that I just really cannot understand the high ratings. It's not just a 'that's not for me' film.

There is almost 2 hours of fairly slow, uninteresting 'early Hollywood' acting that seems to have little relevance to the ending. The ending is exciting but I left the cinema going 'what on earth was that all about' - in a bad way.

There are the usual Tarantino querks - but not pay off, no wow factor and no longing to buy the dvd or watch again when it leaves the cinema.
