Summary: One of Tarantino's best movies
Comment: Although the beginning is a bit slow the whole movie is a masterpiece, fans of the genre and/or the director will be delighted with this movie. In my opinion the best of Grindhouse
Customer Rating:
Summary: The one star goes to the car chase scenes.
Comment: I'm watching it now and my initial reaction in the theater is much magnified. This movie has the worse dialogue I have ever heard. It's worse than an eighties sitcom or an after-school special. It's worse than most of the movies I cable-surf every weekend. What women talk like this? And as I listen to it go and on, who cares?
Reservoir Dogs = brilliant dialogue
Samuel Jackson and John Travolta = brilliant dialogue
Kill Bill (both movies) = sparse but effective dialogue
The dialogue in this movie makes my ears bleed. On to the car chase, please. Hurry!

Summary: One of the Greatest Car Chases in Film History
Comment: Yeah yeah, there is a lot of talking and there is also a lot of talking. This is a Tarantino movie, and his characters love to talk. But if you didn't spend the time hanging out with the girls of Death Proof, then you wouldn't give two s***s about them when it all hits the fan.
As Stuntman Mike, Kurt Russell owns this film - until Zoe Bell shows us what she's made of.
If you are a fan of classic movie stunt work, with the raw energy and brutal force that is Tarantino - then you will dig this flick!

Summary: That bad acting in the second half .
Comment: If it wasn't for the bad acting in the second half of this film - Rosario Dawson excluded - i would've given it a five star .
The film in short is about psycho stunt man stalker , who kills women using his stunt car . How ? watch the film .
And since it's a tribute to the exploitation films of the past , you'll be treated with coloring problems , sound problems , glitches and that old films lines that shows up on the screen every now and then .Nice .
What ruined the film for me is the bad acting from Tracie Thoms in the second half of the film . She was like a bad female version of Samuel L. Jackson . You can forgive Zoe Bell because she's a stunt woman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead for having a small role , unless Mr. Tarantino wanted them to act like that , But we can't know that . Commentary denied .
The extras are not much . Come on Mr. Tarantino , give us a commentary man .Be generous like your brother in arms Robert Rodriguez , His dvd extras rock .

Summary: Driving lessons
Comment: The whole of the Grindhouse combi pack is in terribly bad taste. The film marketers should have let them out together, not in this separate version. Who can take this stuff twice! Well, I could. Admittedly, I needed about 15 months rest between the two parts.
While the other half, Planet Terror, is an awfully disgusting 'instant modern classic' (what a lovely word combination!) of the superlative zombie genre, in Death Proof we have essentially a combination of substantial boredom with shocking surprise and for some time great suspense.
Nice man Kurt Russell turns out to be a raving mad serial killer. I am not giving away much here, since we are let into the secret fairly early, we only need to sit through endless girl talk in a bar and in a car. I guess it serves to build up suspense. Well. Do women talk like that? What a strange sub-species of homo sapiens. But in all fairness, their talk is just nutty, that does not justify Kurt's behaviour. He really shouldn't do that!
Well, he does do it. And he gets away with it to try the same in another state. Again we get girl talk and cars, and then Kurt tries it again, and then the girls teach him a lesson. And let me tell you, that is about the most suspenseful driving lesson that I have watched in the movies.
For sure not the top of Tarantino's career, but not without impressive scenes.

A deranged stuntman stalks his victims from the safety of his killer car, but when he picks on the wrong group of badass babes, all bets are off in an adrenaline-pumping, high speed, white-knuckle automotive duel of epic proportions, where anything can happen.
