The general consensus is that Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is Tarantino’s best film in years. The Hateful Eight is streaming on Netflix. Dern delivers a stellar performance, Lee Horsley pops up for a welcome few seconds (welcome to the proud few who loved Matt Houston), Ennio Morricone’s score earned the legendary composer his first Oscar, and Tarantino provides a couple of moments of brilliantly-staged, genuine suspense, but otherwise The Hateful Eight rates as a massive disappointment, three hours of self-indulgent, meandering, irredeemable tedium. The would-be illuminating chatter about racism is too on-the-nose, while Leigh’s character suffers one misogynistic indignity after another, leading to a brutal and disturbing hanging sequence. Along the way, they talk (and talk) and shout (and shout), but say little of interest. Most of them, not surprisingly, don’t survive the experience. Jackson, Tim Roth, Walton Goggins, Demián Bichir, Michael Madsen, and Bruce Dern - at a stagecoach lodge during a blizzard. The story unfolds shortly after the Civil War and gathers together eight strangers – Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. The Hateful Eight (2015) fails on nearly every level. Some hardcore Tarantino fans believe the former wunderkind has never made an out-and-out bad movie, but we disagree. And, bonus, we’ve provided you a handy list of where you can stream the films, too! If you disagree with the ranking, at least we’ve given you something new to think about. There is zero objectivity in this list, which is the point. In that spirit, here is a totally biased list of all ten of Tarantino’s movies to date.
Even the worst of his 10 films – we’re not including his atrocious contribution to the Four Rooms anthology - is probably worth seeing, studying, and arguing about. His works look and sound different, and alternate between subtle and, well, a Tarantino-brand of an extreme opposite of subtle. As a writer-director, Tarantino – who will turn 58 in March 2021, now lives in Israel, and swears he’s nearing the end of his days behind a camera - injected spontaneity back into the experience of sitting in a darkened theater to watch a film. With some of the most likable protagonists present in any of his films, Jackie Brown is one that is sure not to disappoint, and one that is not to be overlooked (despite its "low" placement on this list of Quentin Tarantino movies.Quentin Tarantino exploded onto the cinema landscape in 1992 with the outlandish, blood-soaked Reservoir Dogs, and moviegoing has never been the same. Jackie Brown is complex in its own way with a web of intricate character dynamics and the "Who is working with who" factor. I suspect the reason this has gone underappreciated is that it lacks the flash and narrative boldness that is present in the most well-received Tarantino outings ( Pulp Fiction), but that's what makes it so good. An aging bail bondsman, an over-her-head flight attendant, a drugged-out college-aged girl, and forgetful and imperfect ring leaders make up the cast of characters. Jackie Brown is fully epitomized by imperfection.Įvery character is a rugged, older version of who they would be in a typical Tarantino joint.
Jackie Brown has all the usual hits of Tino films, off-the-cuff violence, relentless use of profanity, and high-stakes action feuds, but it goes forgotten in the grand scheme. No fault of Jackie Brown's, but (aside from Death Proof) this has become the most ignored film in Tarantino's catalog, and I'm not particularly sure why.
