I can't believe the fawning reviews on here presumably because of the actors or director.

The plot is glacially slow and the dialogue fairly tedious. Very little actually happens in the movie to make you care about the characters who are poorly developed.

Tarantino or the producers I suspect have been backed by the tobacco industry to feature cigarettes in almost every scene. It really is quite jarring and it undermines the credibility of the entire project - which the script manages to also do so a double whammy of selling your soul and bland mediocrity are the main takeaways.

I'll give it 3 stars for the sense of time and place and the cars and wardrobe dept.

To reiterate others The Emperors New Clothes.
