Inglorious Basterds (2009)

If you like violence, you'll like Basterds. The scalping is particularly good, and not really an art that has been visited since Last of the Mohicans. The action is nicely built by large periods of suspense, the bar scene highlighting this particularly well.

There isn't a bad performance in the film and in fact big glowing references go to Christoph Waltz playing the brilliant Col. Hans Landa and Brad Pitt playing Lt. Aldo Raine.

The pace of the film switches quickly from slow to fast throughout which aids the suspense being built and Tarantino directs the action with his trademark gore (if that is the correct word). The bottom line is, whether you like the film or not, you can always guarantee that Tarantino will get the violence right.

Overall the Colonel can only give this 4 dead Nazis out of 5.

Brad tried not to be smug about the massive smell he had just made
