I have been on and off with Tarantino in the past. Sometimes I like his stuff, sometimes not. I wasn’t really a massive fan of the Kill Bills. But, what ever you say about him, you have to admit, he can put dialogue together. A couple of people in a car, in a cafe, in a house just chatting away for 10 minutes about nothing really consequential should really spell disaster for a scene. So why am I infinitely interested in what meaningless crap Tarantino’s characters have to say?

I guess the characters are pretty fleshed out. They never really come across as very 2D. I’d be willing to bet that he spends a lot of time creating his characters back stories and motivations.
And this is what Death Proof offers. A ton of characters, pretty much all of them girls, that you really love getting to know.

Oh and to say this is some sort of girl power flick is an understatement. Dude, the second half of this film absolutely rocks the party! My wifie and I were literally screaming with excitement.
Awesome stuff. Loved every minute.
