Kill Bill is the ultimate revenge movie by master scribe and
director Quentin Tarentino that is easily one of his best pieces of
work. The story revolves around "The Bride" who is played by the
talented Uma Thurma, an assassin who has been in a coma for several
years.
Unfortunately for "The Bride" her ex-partner and boss (David
Carradine) called "Bill" was responsible for her failed execution
and now she must put together her fragmented life... one step at a
time. One by one, The Bride begins her hunt for those responsible in
this classic Quentin Tarantino film which pays homage to a variety
of genres from the 60's and 70's that features action, drama and a
healthy dose of over the top violence and humour.
With a star studded cast of stars that include Lucy Liu, Vivica A.
Fox, Daryl Hannah as the one-eyed blonde assassin and Michael
Madsen, the actors truly lend themselves to this movie with some
exceptional performances.
The scenes which involve Lucy Lui as O-Ren Ishii are thoroughly
entertaining, especially the origin story of O-Ren Ishii which uses
Japanese "anime" animation. It's difficult not to appreciate the
irony of the characters and match that with some over the top action
scenes and this is truly the modern Girl Power movie, even though
the movie is clearly aimed at the male audience.
Fortunately for fans of the franchise, Walt Disney Studios have
released the definitive version of Kill Blu on Blu-Ray which
contains exceptional video and audio quality. Match that with some
engaging special features that include the Making of Kill Bill, the
Musical Performances by the "5,6,7,8's" and some Tarantino trailers
and this nicely rounds out this almost perfect Blu-Ray.
Highly Recommended!
