Loud, fast, and proudly out of control, Grindhouse is a tribute to the low-budget exploitation movies that lurked at drive-ins and inner city theaters in the '60s and early '70s. Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino ( Kill Bill ) and Robert Rodriguez ( Sin City ) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. --Paul Gaita Fasten your seat belt, it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Quentin Tarantino pays homage to his B-movie favourites in this adrenaline fuelled tale of a psychotic stuntman's serial attempts to stalk hot babes in his supercharged, 'death proof' Chevy. Having already dealt with one set of women in Texas, Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) moves on to Tennessee, where he targets another posse of head-turning women. But this time Mike finds that he's bitten off more than he can chew, as the three girls (Rosario Dawson, Tracie Thoms, and Zoe Bell) give as good as they get, culminating in an 18-minute car duel (without CGI), which references some of the classic chase movies of the past. As with any Tarantino film, there are numerous nods to pop culture, along with razor-sharp dialogue that just keeps coming. Review: One of Quentin's best films - Death Proof is one of Tarantino's best films and you can say it's not, but you'd just be wrong. Review: Death proof dvd’s, two disc version - Typical Quinten Tarantino film, very samey samey as a lot of his other films

Surprisingly great
I read recently that Quentin Tarantino slated Death Proof as the worst movie he ever made which is also a sentiment shared by many audiences, I for the life of me do not understand that and really enjoyed it. I am a fan of Tarantino, I was a huge fan when I was younger and loved Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction (which has been overkilled), Jackie Brown was ok, Kill Bill 1&2 has and will age the best while still maintaining Tarantinos positive hallmarks and inglorious Basterds for me would be his best if it weren't for the soundtrack, Death Proof for me has the most 're-watchability' Death Proof has all the nuances of a 70's exploitation film, it only has 3 real scenes of an exploitation film but the retro 70's look and feel is there but it's set in modern day with some references and phones being the only give away. I think this film didn't do better because is because apart from the group dialogue it doesn't feel very 'Tarantino' but that shouldn't put any movie fans off, also I think his audience was put off because his films are usually very male centric (kill Bill and Jackie Brown are kind of exceptions, but not really) all the main characters in this apart from antagonist Kurt Russell playing 'stuntman Mike' are women. I'll say that film fans should get this and Tarantino should have a think about it.

Amazon impeccabile
Come sempre Amazon si dimostra al di sopra di qualsiasi azienda di vendita e consegna prodotti on line. Senza parole davvero! Comprai questo blu ray a marzo 2018 e per problemi tecnici ho mantenuto il prodotto impacchettato per 5 mesi. Quando finalmente ho potuto vedere il film purtroppo andava a scatti la visione del blu ray...ho chiamato il servizio clienti e mi hanno immediatamente rispedito il prodotto anche a distanza di 5 mesi dall'acquisto! Credo che non lo farebbe nessuno! Poi non ci stupiamo se Amazon è la migliore piattaforma del globo! Ho deciso di dare 5 stelle a Grindhouse sia per il servizio di Amazon e sia perché è una pellicola straordinaria che fa ricordare molto il genere anni 70...Tarantino impeccabile, Kurt Russell ottima interpretazione consiglio vivamente per la collezione Tarantino!!! A prova di morte!!!
