Review of Death Proof

Death Proof (2007)
6/10
Fun, but too long
1 March 2008
The chase scenes were interesting, the dialog was snappy and as always with Tarantino the cinematography and soundtrack was excellent. The trashy 80s movie touches like the somewhat cheesy acting, unexpected cuts and random bad production added to the fun.

Kurt Russell as 'Stuntman Mike' was the show stealer, but all the women accounted for themselves pretty well also.

But, perhaps because I watched the stand alone version rather than the grind-house double-bill Death Proof seemed to drag a little. Ultimately it felt about 30-45 minutes too long.

Overall a 6/10, but probably a whole lot better as it was originally intended.
