Inglorious Bastards

Comedy/Action
Review by Jon
Rating out of 100 - 40


I couldn't work this film out -

- was it a thinly veiled compliment to German efficiency, or an unintentional backhanded compliment to the 'tougher' side of the Jews. Or perhaps both?

 - was it all directed by Tarentino, or did he just have a hand in some of the better scenes while a temp took charge of all the rest?

The film is sometimes brilliant, and at other times atrocious. It's like watching two films at the same time.

This is most obvious when comparing the terrible casting and performance of Brad Pitt with the excellent casting and performance of Christopher Waltz.

The film is well worth watching if only for the scenes in which Christopher Waltz appears. He plays a lead member of the Gestapo, and some of the interrogation scenes are nothing short of MASTERPIECES.

Watch the film, but forward wind all scenes that don't include Christopher Waltz.
