Review of Grindhouse (2007) by Steven C — 12 Oct 2010
"Grindhouse" is it's own film. While three of the six segments went on to have longer, better feature length versions ("Machete", "Planet Terror", "Death Proof"), this three hour extravaganza is a beast all it's own.
The energy is palpable. Robbert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino have crafted a loving homage and update for 70s and 80s exploitation cinema. With non-stop laughs, a cast that is clearly having a great time and memorable stunts and special effects, this experiment is never boring.
On their own, "Death Proof" is the clear winner, being the best written, acted and a much leaner and meaner entertainment than the goofy "Planet Terror" and "Machete", but when see all together, "Grindhouse" is a one of a kind experience.
