Noah W @Parkboy13 4 days ago a defining performance from Pam Grier however, overall, I got kinda bored. great acting overall, but the cast is stacked with talent all over. spotlight stolen by Pam, obviously Quentin has done better movies before but overall. im just glad someone took Harvey Weinstein money was used to make something good See more Qinq D @RT14362661 Aug 24, 2026 Pam Grier is magnificent in the title role, bringing intelligence, toughness, and a wonderfully understated charisma to a woman who’s always three moves ahead of everyone else. The entire cast is terrific, with Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, and Bridget Fonda all finding their own strange little rhythms inside Quentin Tarantino’s world. The dialogue crackles, the soundtrack swings, and the tension comes less from explosions than from watching smart, complicated people try to outmaneuver one another. It’s relaxed, dangerous, funny, and effortlessly cool. A crime thriller with soul. See more Andrew T @RT72355796 Jul 27, 2026 This movie is unlike any other Tarantino movie before or since. However, even though this movie does not align with the usual style of Quentin Tarantino for the most part, I would argue this is still a high tier Tarantino movie. It is just so incredibly well-crafted. The writing and storytelling in this movie is what really sends it over the top. Not to mention Pam Grier is one of my all time favorite actresses. She is absolutely wonderful in this movie. 9/10 See more Travis M @TMorg007 Jul 10, 2026 Aims to be gritty and a throwback to the 70's but I feel like my eyeballs need to take a shower after this one. Deniro and his ridiculous mustache ruin this film. This one might make you lose hope in humanity. I appreciate Jackson in many roles, but I will never rewatch this one. I'd say the only thing compelling in this is Bridget Fonda in short shorts. See more Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Apr 9, 2026 The calmest Tarantino movie...? See more David M @RT30868034 Apr 6, 2026 Often cited as Tarantino's best film, this has aged in many of the ways you expect his films to age. Some aspects grate and feel uncomfortable - the film's attitude towards both women and race is at the very least to be questioned - and like most Tarantino films it's overlong. The relatively slow pace doesn't help, but as is so often the case he extracts outstanding performances from leads Samuel L Jackson and Pam Grier. It runs the risk of being more style than substance, not least in its evocation of a different era of film-making. As is also typical of his films, it lacks a clear moral centre; which isn't necessarily a problem (films are allowed to ask the audience to make the moral calls), but put alongside other issues with his filmography, it's hard to shake the idea that Tarantino isn't bothered about the consequences or collateral of the good time he wants to have with his fim. Which it is, ultimately - a good time compiled with great skill and little genuine consequence. See more Read all reviews
