Writer: Quentin Tarantino
Cast: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L.Jackson
With the help of his mentor, a slave turned bounty hunter sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner.
The film is entertaining like all other Tarantino films but doesn't have enough interesting characters to elevate it to be among his best films. Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L.Jackson carries the film and sadly the main characters (Django and Brromhilda) and their relationship are not very interesting or convincing. Among Tarantino films, I rate it above only Deathproof and maybe Kill Bill at a stretch.
Soundtrack is excellent in most places but some horrible raps in it kind of spoils the mood.
Edit: Saw it again on big screen. Think it is Tarantino's second worst film, with the worst being Deathproof. Didn't feel the length on the first viewing but felt it this time around.
Rating: 4/5
