Death Proof (2007)
Country: US
Technical: col/bw/2.35:1 114m
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Cast: Kurt Russell, Zoe Bell, Rosario Dawson, Rose McGowan
Synopsis:
A former stuntman uses his car to kill attractive girls, but meets his match.
Review:
The other half of Tarantino and Rodriguez's Grindhouse double bill, this was released separately in many countries in a longer, almost two-hour version. Watchable though this director is, and sharp though his ear for dialogue may be, that is stretching things a bit far. There is only so much exhaustively argued tittle tattle and profanity one can take in an evening. The film is structured around two case studies built on protracted introductions of the prospective victims before peril sets in. There are the usual jumps, rumbles and scratches recalling films of the era - even the colour palette is just right - and the driving sequences are staged with jaw-dropping audacity. What is bizarre is the decision to include a mobile phone in a world which, to all appearances, is that of the 1970s. See also Planet Terror.
