Why watch this?
Uma Thurman is a tour de force!

Dad's Preview:
I was not a huge Tarantino fan until this blew me away. Yes, it romanticizes
murderous assassins. It is violent. Many of the main characters
are beautiful. Yet, it works and how. This is definitely a woman's story
filled with strong ladies, all just as deadly as their male
counterparts. The fight scenes are choreographed so perfectly.
The final battle at the House of Blue Leaves restaurant
alone is worth the price of admission! Uma is a force. And I was impressed by
Chiaki Kuriyama, as
deadly femme fatale GoGo Yubari. |
