Review of Death Proof (2007) by Nelson M — 04 Jun 2012
Unlike other Tarantino fare, this film feels overly dialogue heavy. Deathproof comes off more as a Tarantino look a like film rather than an actual Tarantino film. Kurt Russell turns out one of his best performances in years but the Stuntman Mike character deserves a better film than this.
Perhaps had Tarantino made a "Two-Lane Blacktop" style film, this would be more memorable. Instead, his attempt at a slasher movie falls as flat as it's leading heroines. Unlike his heroines in "Kill Bill" and "Jackie Brown" these do not have the same level of acting or depth as his previous ones.
Maybe it is because he was attempting a Grindhouse film instead of something more personal?
