REVIEW #241 Inglorious Bastards (2009)

A few Jewish soldiers are on an undercover mission to bring down the Nazi government and stop Hitler in his tracks. Meanwhile a women pursues her own revenge on the regime that murdered her family.

Inglorious Bastards is a fantastic combination of Quentin Tarantino’s filmmaking prowess and world war 2 history, providing an alternative ending to the Second World War. I don’t think it’s Tarantino’s best film but it certainly has a lot to enjoy, his trademark gory action, captivating dialogue and a wonderful cast who deliver strong performances throughout. Some chapters of the film I did find a little slow and uninteresting, specifically chapter three: German Night in Paris. It’s extremely slow paced and usually that’s okay because the dialogue feels you in and keeps you hooked but I don’t think that was the case here. Although I must say, any scene with Christopher Waltz in is always enjoyable, he really does steal the show with his delivery. Finally I want to mention the amazing cinematography, there are a number of spectacular shots to behold, so keep an eye out for those. This is definitely worth a watch and another impressive movie in Tarantino’s filmography.

Overall (8.5/10)

Thanks for reading,
