I’m going to start this review off by saying that The Hateful Eight is one of the best movies I had the pleasure of seeing in 2015. Quentin Tarantino, the mastermind behind this film, is one of Hollywood’s underdog directors that deserves more credit than is given to him, and his eighth film, The Hateful Eight, is no exception compared to his earlier masterpieces, which include Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained, and Pulp Fiction to name a few.
Starring an superior cast from the likes of Samuel L. Jackson (Star Wars Episodes 1-3, The Avengers), Kurt Russell (Poseidon, Furious 7), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Weeds, Revenge), and Channing Tatum (Dear John, 21 Jump Street, Magic Mike), The Hateful Eight just glimmers from the performance of the actors and actresses in the film. Dialogue between characters is rich and enticing; unpredictable and alive. These characters seem like real people living back during the post-Civil War era, where the story takes place.
