Quentin Tarantino
8/10
I am a big Tarantino fan, so I might be a bit biased, but who isn’t. I think this is a great film for such a small budget. Even with the movie’s setting only taking place in one location, it still delivers a great storyline with a great twist at the end. It also isn’t a Tarantino movie without a big bloody ending and that is just what we got from this film, which I think was executed perfectly. It does keep you guessing on who the actual bad guy is and the film does not feel too rushed despite the very short run time. It gives us an insight into the different characters and their motivations and I felt as though every action done by each of the characters was natural and justified for their own motivations. The dialogue is great aswell, something that is common among Tarantino films, and does not make you feel bored during the longer dialogue sequences. The main beauty of this film I think, comes from what is not said. Even with the movie being very dialogue heavy there is so much you can pick up from the subtext of what is being said and the reactions of the characters. Overall, I do think that this is a must watch.
