Movie Reviews of Grindhouse Presents, Death Proof - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Movie Review: Still excellent Tarantino work
Summary: 4 Stars

Too bad Tarantino (obviously) tried to balance serious work with parody.
Didn't quite work. The movie is excellent when it takes itself seriously and very bad when it tries to be a 70's spoof.
The characters are exceptionally well made and memorable. Three days after seeing the movie, I'm still constantly thinking about Stuntman Mike and the girls.
At the same time, though, there are some very silly plot elements that simply break the rhythm of the movie rather than contributing to the feeling that you are watching a 70's piece.
Btw, Rodriguez obviously did not have the balancing dilemma - Planet Terror is a plain awful and unoriginal zombie movie.

Summary of Grindhouse Presents, Death Proof - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)

A deranged stuntman stalks his victims from the safety of his killer car but when he picks on the wrong group of badass babes all bets are off in an adrenaline-pumping high speed white-knuckle automotive duel of epic proportions where anything can happen.

Loud, fast, and proudly out of control, Grindhouse is a tribute to the low-budget exploitation movies that lurked at drive-ins and inner city theaters in the '60s and early '70s. Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. -- Paul Gaita
