The Hateful Eight (2015) 8/10

Starring : Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen
Director : Quentin Tarantino
Running Time : 168 mins

In late 19th Century America, a pair of bounty hunters, John Ruth (Russell) and Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), are heading to Red Rock with their bounties when they are forced to take shelter from a storm at Minnie’s Haberdashery, where they are faced by a group of suspiciously unfamiliar faces and find themselves having to figure out if their lives are in danger.

Although far too long, this was a fun whodunit of sorts, with Russell and Jackson having to guess who might be trying to take their lives. The dialogue helps to make the viewer forget just how long this movie is, which is a good thing, and the pacing is generally quite fast which makes the time pass quicker. Fans of Tarantino will enjoy this movie, which has all of his hallmarks, so expect a violent murder filled joy ride filled with bad language.
