#POSITIVES.

1. Quintin Tarantino....What more?!His touch is evident in every frame.
2. Excellent performance from Kurt Russell.He puts up a convincing act as John Roth.
3. Samuel L.Jackson once again proves his credibility as one of the finest in Hollywood.
4. Thriller with masterly executed twists and some crazy-funny-violent action.
5. Excellent visuals and tempting music.

#NEGATIVES.

1. Unimaginative story line and weird sometimes.
2. Too much drag in the first half with lots of horse riding and dialogues off topic.
3. Too much violence with lots of blood and flesh which can be disturbing for some.
4.  Loose and sluggish which bores you mainly in the first half.

#BOX OFFICE.
 

    As all Quintin movies this too had a warm welcome at the box office.Even though this movie had a limited release it managed to collect $155 million against a budget of $44 million.The movie was acclaimed well by most of the critics.

I am Deepak Unnikrishnan and I will be back with another movie from my collection,soon.

TIP OF THE DAY: GOSSIP IS SPREAD BY WICKED PEOPLE.
