Movie: Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)

Plot: "Revenge is a dish best served cold". This film is all about that. A victim of betrayal makes a checklist to kill the members of the 'Deadly Viper Assassination Squad' she was once part of & she starts doing that in (awe)some style!

Highlights:

• Quentin Tarantino is THE style master. The most stylish film I ve seen. By style I don't mean costumes & sets. The way even gore is shown stylishly is astonishing. Also the blending of the styles of Hollywood & Japanese Films was superb.
• Uma Thurman ROCKS! She carries off a violent role, which nobody would associate with a woman, with total ease.
• The soundtracks used for the film are all brilliant & used in apt places. I felt goosebumps raise on my skin when the Ennio Morricone track from Death Rides a Horse was played.

Lowlights:
Logical fallacies. There a quite a few of them including the sword fight with 50 odd men before the climax.

My Rating: 9.8/10
