(No spoilers) I was so excited to see this, especially when I heard the rave reviews of how this was Tarantino's finest film, that it showed great maturity, etc. In the end all I can say is that the film had some charming moments, and some good acting (it's difficult for actors to play actors), but ultimately the films just okay. Neither the characters, nor the story were exceptional. I get the plot twist at the end, but that is far too small a device to carry the whole movie, though it seems it was intended to do so. I took my 17 year old son, and he had absolutely no idea about the crime that lurks behind the whole story, so I have ordered the book on the crime for him (two week delay on Amazon, so apparently a lot of people are wanting to learn about it, or revisit it after all these years). I love most everything by Quentin Tarantino, and the combination of Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt should have brought us some fantastic scenes, but the story, the film and the acting were just okay.
