Film review
The Hateful Eight Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film is set in a snowy Wyoming in 1875. We encounter bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) taking his prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to hang. Enroute to the town of Red Rock, Ruth runs into renowned bounty hunter Marquis Warren (Samuel L Jackson) and sheriff Chris Mannix (Walter Goggins). Jackson is no stranger to the bloody violence that comes with any Tarantino movie, having starred in Pulp Fiction and played the deeply unlikeable head servant in Django Unchained. When the blizzard forces the foursome to stop, they take shelter in ‘Minnie’s Haberdashery’ where they make the acquaintance of the rest of the cast, including Tarantino favourites Tim Roth and Michael Madsen as hangman Oswaldo Mobray and Joe Gage respectively. Waiting for the weather to clear, the group are confined to each other’s company, but right from the off you can’t escape a sense of unease and the feeling that not everyone will survive the
night. We are led to believe that none of the group know each other, but is that truly the case? As the film progresses, we get the sense that no one can be trusted or is as they seem. Tarantino burst onto the scene in the 1990s with iconic hits Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, which firmly established him as one of the greatest film directors of all time. His ability to write engrossing dialogue and create labyrinthine plot twists is fundamentally complemented by his trademark bloody violence. At just under three hours long the Hateful Eight might seem a bit of a mouthful but when you’re in the auditorium the time just flies by. It is unmissable; Tarantino has done it again.
