Although this is obviously a first feature, which draws heavily from our Tarantino times, there are nonetheless some stylish moments. Snatches of dialogue really sparkle, and the ending is a genuine surprise: pleasantly so. I also really enjoyed the fact that the main bad guy is a stylish blond.
The acting is pretty decent, especially by the two leads, though some characters seemed too conscious that they are indeed on camera.
For my taste, there is too much brutal violence, though thankfully, it's mostly off-camera. There is one ugly speech bashing women pretty bad (cringe-worthy). But the biggest problem I had with this was the Johnny Cash stuff. I'm sorry, but Johnny Cash is an American icon...and I just refuse to believe what was said in this movie about him. I even refuse to repeat it. You're just gonna have to go and judge for yourself.
