Summary
A serial killer stuntman, played by Kurt Russell, hunts down young women in modified cars.
If nothing else this film proves no one is perfect. For as many great films as Quentin Tarrantino has made across his career there always had to be a dud, it is the law of averages, and this is that dud.
This is easily Tarrantino’s worst film, with a story that is utterly simplistic and lacks any of his usual charm or whit. I understand that it is trying to parody exploitation films and evoke those sort of ideas, but this only serves to make the film worse. The exploitation nature of the premise leads to the film quickly becoming repetitive and bland.
Worse yet is the idea that this film is a black comedy. Not only does the humour not work it really barely comes through at all. When it is present it is you laughing at the film for how bad it is, was this what Tarrantino wanted?
Overall, Tarrantino’s worst film by quite a margin.
1/5
Pros.
It gives us a few laughs at how bad it is.
Cons.
The humour doesn’t work
The exploitation elements don’t hold up
It lacks any kind of charm
It is repetitive
