Deathproof

Why didn't you guys tell me how awesome this movie was?

I think the ending is a rush but it drags in a couple of spots. I did a review for my site:

The deathproof part from my review:

For somebody with a knack for funny dialog Quentin seems to just take everything too seriously. Death Proof (a movie about fast cars) drags along at a snails pace interrupted only by a memorable quote here and there. Kurt Russell puts in a surprisingly nuanced performance as Stuntman Mike, a Hollywood stunt driver turned serial killer. While the violence is extremely nasty, it is so sparse that you forget why you?re supposed to hate Kurt Russell?s character the next time you see him. In the final act Stuntman Mike has an encounter with a troupe of foxy stunt doubles and actresses attempting a car trick that sane people just don?t do. Stuntman Mike makes their stunt even more deadly, leading to a white knuckle car chase that will amaze. Despite the movies cathartic eventual payoff, in retrospect, most people will realize it took just too long to get there in the first place. Maybe if Tarantino spends less time bragging about the movies he?s seen he might be able to get more done next time. On the other hand, if you are in the mood for some great car chase scenes and a whole lot of beautiful women, then you should find Death Proof redeeming on some level like I did.
