Thoughts;
This is a Quentin Tarantino movie. If you are offended by the use of the word “Nigger” DO NOT WATCH. They use that word through out the entire movie as referring to Samuel L Jackson’s character. This movie clearly takes place during a different time when that word was used in common place to refer to black people. I enjoy checking IMDB for reviews and tons of people gave it low scores for this alone.

First off, this movie is long, very long. It’s slow going but not boring by any means. There are “Chapters” in this movie and as Tarantino does, it is all put together at the end.


It’s a ‘who’s bad” type of movie and it truly keeps you guessing. It was very well put together and in the end not one person gets their bounty.
