Kill Bill: Vol. 1 ****

Writer/Director: Quentin Tarantino
Year: 2003
Cinematographer: Robert Richardson

Vol. 1 is not quite as rewarding as Vol. 2 for me, but really these can be reviewed as one film. Tarantino's anime kung-fu samurai revenge film takes a little bit of everything you can see Tarantino loves about Hong Kong and Japanese b-movies and puts it into a blender with American actors and locations, lending the concoction a bit of the old west shoot-out vibe. Fun, but you have to be able to stomach a lot of fake blood hyperbolically spewing and drenching the audience.
