Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The 70s grind-house satire may be enough for some and Kurt Russell is as commanding a screen-presence as he as ever been but this over-long, unfocused mess has far too little plot to keep you entertained and even lacks in the 'exploitation terror' it promises. The two-half approach in 'Death Proof (2007)' kills the pacing, too. None of the characters have any development, perhaps because of the structure or maybe because of the writing. The film is made to look like a bad 70s transfer, with grunge effects and skipped reels. These are just plain distracting and actually disappear just over halfway through because even Tarantino must have found them annoying and useless. Overall, the flick is a joyless experience that didn't keep me engaged at all. Easily the acclaimed director's worst attempt. 4/10

I feel bad about this, bad mouthing Quentin because he's one of the few who's been on our side. No matter how much cloggy sentimentalised pap the US film industry threw at as, Quentin would be there giving us the stuff that would make a cold night in with just a stack of DVD's, some beer and maybe a few mates in from the pub bearable. Something went wrong with this flick though, it's still got its fair share of the Tarantino flair; those 2+ dialogues executed through his sense of Jo ha kyu that's served him so well. It' just that it all goes wrong in the third act and that kind of frizzles with the whole vibe of the flick.What should happen is Mike gets away with the second murderous attack after a gruelling and bloody ordeal. And then the alternate ending is tagged on body snatchers style, to show him being dealt justice and our heroines making a miraculous return. Instead though, he continues with girly revenge theme but instead of the righteous vindication of Kill Bill it's all a bit miss timed and weak. Of course my ending is a teeny bit contrived, it's just supposed to illustrate the point that Quentin has maybe swallowed a bit too much of the stuff his critics have levelled at him. As a consequence, lately it seems as if he's been chasing -right-on- credits both with his later films and his public pronouncements.

For me, one of the best movies of Quentin Tarantino. With an apparently too basic script, he creates the iconic character of Kurt Russell. The original soundtrack supports all the resources of the director, and there are a lot of winks to old road movies. In summary: Tarantino in pure state.

Art is the expression of imagination, usually in visual form, and that is exactly what this film gives. A plot based off of sheer imagination and uniqueness. People try to be so analytical when talking about A- list directors rather than try to remember just how to be entertained while watching a film. Death proof is a refreshing piece of entertainment, which is edited creatively by Sally Menke, and the characters are beautifully idiosyncratic also. In particular, Kurt Russell gives one of the most superb performance. There is 3-second scene in the film, where Russell breaks the fourth wall, and it was just genius. Please appreciate this film for what it is and don't try to nit-pick or overthink anything, just have fun.
