Quention Tarantino's fourth movie brings us an adult version of Charlie's Angels.

Tarantino movie checklist:

violence

plenty. It starts with Reservoir Dogs-style (unpleasantly realistic) brutality and ends in (totally unrealistic) martial-arts splatter

overtime

yes, in fact the movie had to be split in two parts because of its length

complex storytelling

no. The plot is a dead-simple tale of revenge (Uma Thurman sets out to kill her enemies). We get a fair amount of flashbacks, off-screen narration, and even animated sequences, though.

great cast

Hmm. We have Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu. We can expect more of Darryl Hannah, David Carradine and Michael Madsen is the second part.

B-movie background

no doubt. This is one big homage to pulp fiction movie making (especially Asian fight flicks)

cool music

definitely

hip talk

Not in this one: the dialogue is either tough-talking threats or in Japanese(!)
