Quentin Tarentino gives us his take on World War 2. This includes Brad Pitt leading the Basterds (a group of soldiers who lurk around France scarring, killing, and scalping Nazis), Christoph Waltz as the Jew Hunter (a German with a talent for finding Jews), and Mélanie Laurent as a Jew on the run (and hiding in plain sight). The characters come together as plots to kill Hitler unfold.
Inglourious Basterds has a good plot, good characters, and a good ending, but it suffers from Tarentino’s usual problem, his dialogue. The script is full of conversations that are long and not as clever as Tarentino thinks. Basterds is a very long two and half hours, rather than the punchy one and a half hours it should be.
