Oh dear, what was Tarantino thinking? I am a fan of his style of remixing all sorts of films/styles/themes, but this has to be the low point of his directing career. The dialogues are cringeworthy and boring. Not to mention that they do not sound like “girlie talk”. What works in Reservoir Dogs does not work here – even though he uses similar techniques (to especially the opening scene about “Like a Virgin”). I assume the one-dimensional characters were intentional and there is no problem with that, if the plot and/or the dialogues compensate for that. No sign of the usual playfulness and wit. Had it been a short, I would have enjoyed it a lot, but the thrill of the last half an hour cannot erase the torture of the first one and a half. Final observation: he seems to have been dedicating entire films to revenge lately, which has always been present throughout his career (was he bullied as a child?). All in all this is a real shocker and not in a good sense. And what is it with the foot-fetish, anyway?
