This is my third Tarantino film (seen Kill Bill 1 & 2) and he doesn't fail to impress so far. This one's a western mystery thriller with snow instead of sand, I love the idea.
The first act is arguably the film's strongest, it's such a strong setup, very dialogue driven and it really takes you into the late 1800's period. The second act was my favorite, perfect character introductions, interesting character interactions and you can see everything is cleverly setting up for some kind of twist. The third act arrives and it's a totally unpredictable twist but as smart as this movie is I think it has some logic problems. It seems to me like they went through a lot of trouble with all this setup when they could have simply shot the major (and everyone else) the second they entered the cabin, it was totally doable. But anyways it's a movie so it didn't stop my enjoyment. Third act was epic.
Absolutely beautiful scenery and it's all shot very well. Tarantino really captured the cold with this one, felt like the cold was coming out of the TV, had to go get a blanket. The score is perfect, clever dialogue, lots of dark humor and tension filled. Both the narration and the slow-motion felt like an insult to this movie, totally unnecessary. Samuel L. Jackson blew it out of the park, one of his best performances.
