Lacks the gravitas of
Inglorious Basterds, but it’s still a really fun night at the movies. Jamie Fox knows he’s not in an important drama about slavery. Nobody’s fooling anyone. Fox hams it up, embracing the revenge-porn genre-fusion as it truly is. The same is true for the rest of the cast, all of whom chew as much scenery as possible. Especially Christoph Waltz, nailing his weird, hitman wordsmith with unabashed glee. The final third drags on a bit, and I wonder if they could have ended the movie sooner. Nevertheless, it’s a barn-burner.
