Tarantino's blood filled, splatter-fest, Kill Bill follows the Bride (Uma Thurman) on her quest for vengeance after being left for dead on her wedding day by her former assassin squad, The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. The very first scene of this movie opens with Bill killing all of the other members of her bridal party, except the Bride. Seeing the true devastation in the Bride's emotion sets up a perfect motive for revenge in true Tarantino fashion. As the movie progresses you can see the pure skill and fury of the bride, as she slays her former teammates one by one, at one point taking on the Crazy 88s, a band of high trained mercenaries hired by O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) one of the brides former squad members.
Tarantino is truly on his A-game with Kill Bill. With brilliant fight choreography, amazing cinematography, and captivating characters it is a work of art and a brilliant piece to watch unfold.
I love this movie. Not just because of the blood and violence (although that is always a plus), I love this movie because of everything else in it: from the way it was shot, down the to the costumes donned by the characters. Tarantino goes into depth to give a backstory to each character, making each fight scene even more riveting. All together this is just one hell of a movie and I 100% recommend watching it if your in the mood for a gritty action revenge thriller, with just a dash of comedy thrown into the mix.
It's pretty great.
