Review of Death Proof (2007) by Anwarul B — 11 Aug 2012
Appalling. This is obviously a case where Quentin Tarantino thought of a really good car crash and chase scene but couldn't think of how to fill in the other hour and a half of the movie. 'The Matrix Reloaded' already proved you need more than just a good car chase.
No plot, no character development, no beginning, no ending, no good. Quentin Tarantino apologists will argue that the dialog makes the movie. As the dialog is boring and irrelevant, I don't think so.
I have heard better conversations eavesdropping in Starbucks regarding 'Big Brother'. The black characters' "attitude" talk is so over the top it is laughable. I knew this would be a dreadful movie as soon as Eli Roth turned up as a pointless character.
When will Quentin get it through his fat head that he cannot act?! He should stick to directing although after this movie, maybe he should give that a miss as well. I wanted the first set of girls to die as they were so annoying.
Luckily they did, only not soon enough. What was stupid was Kurt Russell's incomplete character crying like a baby in the end after being shot in the arm, but was a stuntman and gets his kicks crashing his car into others?! The used 1970s movie look was highly irritating and irrelevant.
Did we really need to see every SMS being sent for no reason? What's with the foot fetish?! This is a tedious pointless movie. The only good parts are the crash and car chase scenes which you can watch in facebook or YouTube, skip the rest.
