Tarantino disappoints in grizzly outing

Kill Bill is just another run of the mill revenge tale dressed up with lots of martial arts action and blood. The Bride (Uma Thurman) is the one out for revenge.

On her wedding day, her husband-to-be was killed, she was beaten up and her unborn child was stolen from her womb.

After waking from a four-year coma she sets out to even the score with the five people responsible: Bill (David Carradine), Cottonmouth (Lucy Liu), Copperhead (Vivica A Fox), Side Winder (Michael Madsen) and California Mountain Snake (Daryl Hannah).

What follows is a fairly typical Quentin Tarantino bloodbath. By the end of it all you’re left is numb and bored.

Action, 18. 1/5
