It’s Tarantino. Excessive violence with no script and no plot beyond excessive violence. The only thing recommending it is the high body count. And did I mention excessive violence?
I think so.
But what about the high body count?
Yes, it is what I call “violence porn”. Why do people want to wallow in such gore? I think of the Bible verse that says put nothing unworthy before your eyes. It is all part of our culture of death.
The amazing thing about Tarantino movies (maybe Kill Bill aside) is how LITTLE violence there is. The dialog alone inspires a sense of extreme violence, but there isn’t much quantified. Reservoir Dogs registers as one of the most violent movies out there, yet there is little more in it than some hysterical gangsters standing in a warehouse yelling at each other.
