Review: Death Proof
Here we have the first part (technically the second) of Grindhouse, a movie somehow deemed not fit for the rest of the world to be seen in one go. In the aftermath, it wasn’t such an absurd idea after all. In all its unexpectancy, Quentin Tarantino goes into unknown territory, that being, girly talk. Not the macho (Pulp Fiction) kind, REALLY REALLY story irrelevant GIRLY talk kind, the kind where you can’t form an emotional bond with the character. And some 95% of the movie at that. With Pulp Fiction, it’s quite funny. With this movie, it’s quite boring.
Luckily, there are some horror elements, one mysterious character, and one memorable brilliant char chase scene that makes up a bit for it.7.
