I don't think Tarantino can do any wrong (other than Foxy Brown, I don't know what he was thinking on that film). Film after film Tarantino proves again and again that he is an unstoppable creative force. Death Proof is a crazy, well-written stunt spectacular that brings the best from the worst of the 70's.Kurt Russell is Stuntman Mike who stalks hot girls then tortures them with his retro car. Not much for a plot, but somehow it works. The movie is carried most of the way through with dialogue, which is rare to see these days. You could have a 20-minute conversation between three girls about completely senseless topics but you still can't turn away. How does Tarantino do it?
When the engaging conversations stop, the stunts and violence begin. I think if any other director tried to pull this movie off it would have been a horrible mess. But somehow Tarantino brings his deranged thoughts out of his mind and onto the screen, fully capturing us, the audience, and taking for a memorable ride.
Rating: 8 out of 10
