Review of Death Proof (2007) by Jh K — 12 Aug 2015
Very entertaining and action-filled.
A misogynist, Stuntman Mike (played by Kurt Russell), prays on young women, generally writing them off the road and killing them using his souped-up, specially-armoured car. Then, one day, he picks on the wrong group of women...
Good drama and fun, with some good action scenes. Has the depth of character and amusing conversations and diversions that make Tarantino movies so special.
However, not as multi-faceted as any of his other movies, and a deliberate attempt to make a B-grade movie, this is Tarantino's worst movie yet. Not that it is bad, just not as good as any of his other stuff, and considering that "other stuff" includes some of the greatest movies ever made - Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill - this is not a great insult.
