SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Good start, but then it gets ruined

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I saw this movie recently after a recommendation.. I didn't know what is about except it is in the old west during winter with characters that seems to be rough!!So.. Almost two third of the movie was an introduction to most of the characters.. some of them were little easy to understand or at least with obvious and clear intentions.. the others were not easy to pick up what their intentions.. that introduction was slow and detailed a little. Afterward things escalated for short time and then a slow reveal of a main mystery (that the viewer might not aware of!!) that used pieces of information that the viewer wasn't aware of as well or easy to miss in long dialogues.. at the end there was an extreme tension and the viewer will make speculations (even after the movie finishes!). It is a enjoyable movie to watch (and hear!). The capture of the winter atmosphere was superb (but most of the scenes were inside a cabin).. and the main acting staff were a core attraction for this movie for their capabilities to show us the essence of the characters before the clear reveal of every one's intention. The plot wasn't hard to absorb but the long dialogues can make some viewers lose interest and focus as most of the fast and light action happen near the end of the movie!

Now, I'm not writing this review to be "helpful". I'm just voicing my opinion on it as a whole. I stumbled upon this title on Netflix with hardly any knowledge of it, the actors involved, or even its plot. The beginning was somewhat strange, but the setting was somewhat immersive to me, so I stuck with watching it. As the plot thickened and the characters became more involved with each other, I found it kind of hard to get out of my seat for the nearly 3 hours that the movie was on.The suspenseful events that unfold during the movie (especially when it came down to the mystery aspect) really kept my mind focused, and got me involved with the character portrayal and each of their roles in this tiny cabin that most of it takes part in. The gruesome and "expected-but-unexpected" things that happen during this film didn't distract me from the rest of the plot, and kept engaged and focusing on what would happen next. I will say that if you're just looking for a shoot-em-up western that involves a team of heroes, this is not a movie meant for you. If you can grasp hold of what's going on in the film and take the tiny details into consideration given the fact that it's a mystery that revolves heavily around the characters, I think you'll like the movie.

I haven't seen many Tarentino films, only the two Kill Bills and now this one, but I can say that if all the rest of his films are like this one, then I'm forever a fan. This is a fantastic film, it does everything right. The storytelling and the acting is what really stands out here. This film is told in chapters, and each chapter is essential to the overall story. Samuel L. Jackson gives an incredible performance here, ofcourse he never phones it in, but this performance is especially strong. The other one that really shines here is Jennifer Jason Leigh, she really shows her great acting abilities here as Daisy. Very deserving of that Academy Award nomination. The other cast members do great too, very focused and committed. The film is a claustrophobic western mystery film. I love that the film is vague and doesn't give you much to go off of. I was thoroughly entertained and never bored. How could I be bored with such great writing and such great acting? 10/10!

The Hateful Eight - is the eighth film by Quentin Tarantino. After the stunning success of the Tarantino's Django Unchained, Quentin presented us the new story, where events unfold after the American Civil War.The movie starts from beautiful views of Wyoming plains. The bounty hunter John Ruth is escorting the female criminal person Daisy Domergue to Red Rock. The carriage is driven by O.B., experienced coachman. In the trip, John picks up another bounty hunter Major Marquis Warren (Afro-American) and Chris Mannix, who called himself new sheriff of Red Rock. The weather is very bad. For covering from the blizzard, they arrive to the Minnie's Haberdashery. But they discover that Minnie is missing there. Instead of her they meet several other people: a Mexican Bob - the temporary owner, Oswaldo Mobray - a hangman, Joe Gage - a cowboy and Sanford Smithers - the retired Confederate general. All 9 people have to stay under the same roof. However the fact is that almost all of them have very bad actions in the past. Some of them were enemies in the Civil War, and they try to provoke each other. Bad the main problem is that someone has introduced himself as another person. Who wants to free Daisy and kill all of the rest? Compared with Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight doesn't have a lot of action. However, the viewer can enjoy the slow narration, interesting dialogues, and gradually increasing tension between all characters - all things that we love in Tarantino movies. The actor play is perfect: Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Walton Goggins and Jennifer Jason Leigh - everyone is in the right place. I strongly recommend The Hateful Eight to all Western lovers.
