Provides some amazing encounters, bravura acting turns and gruesome carnage. But it doesn't add up to enough. Full Review
If the romance seldom seems 'true', the spiralling violence (script, Quentin Tarantino) does succeed, in a brutish, cod-Jacobean kind of way. Full Review
This film's various outrages are committed unapologetically, and are very much in the service of its bizarre story. Full Review
Made with such energy, such high spirits, such an enchanting goofiness, that it's impossible to resist. Full Review
