Ultimately, disappointing individually acceptable story telling scenes that don't really add up to much collectively. Sure the last 30minutes were fun, in usual Tarantino fanfare, but that doesnt make up for the initial 2 hours. I can say with 100% confidence, that I will never see this again, and have truly no interest to.
I'm all for telling stories, and by all means, excellent build up, character development, drama, mystery, and intrigue, are all extremely important to creating a story. That said, this proved to be a very big waste of time with so little of that even having any reason to be there. Yes, I get it. He's a down on his luck actor, his friend has a bad (although possibly true) history of killing his wife, who can clearly fight and his dog is as poetically, and really obviously shown multiple times by Tarantino on purpose, a "WOLF DOG FOOD FOR MEAN DOGS" .
... but for the life of me, I can't understand why any of this needed to amount to almost 3 hours, when 80-90 minutes would have more than sufficed. This unfortunately, screams Tarantino for much of the past 2 decades.
