Over the top Torture Porn

Bases it's laurels on over the top violence. The plot of this movie has a pulse about as weak as the unfortunate characters in it. Tarantino would do well to remember what made the classic suspense movies classics...more imgaination and plot and less visual vomit. Do yourself a favor and watch a Hitchcock movie instead as your intelligence and your eyes won't be assulted with this junk.
I liked this movie. It moved my emotions all over the map, and I am not worse off for it. It built itself on elements rooted in reality, and only occasionally became unrealistically heroic. I liked the pre-ending more than I liked the ending, where the main character gets what he wants but then realizes it isn't the only thing he wants. But this is a Disney film, so it ends up that he gets what the average viewer wants him to too.
