> Wolves in a pack hunting for a beast-sheep. The first thing I remembered was, 'Save the Green Planet', but it was a crime-thriller, not a fantasy-sci-fi. Tough guys in the leather jackets, guns in the one hand and cigars in the other, that's what I imagined when Tarantino favoured it. But this film was slightly not an aggressive like too violent. The screenplay was disturbed frequently when it begins to engage on the nervous side. Hence it makes you say 'just missed', sometime disappointedly. Anyway, no one told me it was a dark comedy, I took it as a surprise and somewhat enjoyed it.…

Quentin Tarantino called this the best film of 2013 and it's easy to see why. It's very dark humor with an unpalatable subject, and with the same wry humor as QT. I found it brilliantly put together by the writer/directors and the acting is great. There is no character development which is clearly a choice to keep the audience at a safe distance from the heart of film. I find that to be a very creative choice that allows us to laugh instead of cry. If you're a QT fan, don't miss this gem.
