Editorial Review:
Description:
A deranged stuntman stalks his victims from the safety of his killer car, but when he picks on the wrong group of badass babes, all bets are off in an adrenaline-pumping, high speed, white-knuckle automotive duel of epic proportions, where anything can happen.
Amazon.com:
Loud, fast, and proudly out of control, Grindhouse is a tribute to the low-budget exploitation movies that lurked at drive-ins and inner city theaters in the '60s and early '70s. Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. -- Paul Gaita

Rating:  - One of Tarantino's best movies
Although the beginning is a bit slow the whole movie is a masterpiece, fans of the genre and/or the director will be delighted with this movie. In my opinion the best of Grindhouse
Rating:  - The one star goes to the car chase scenes.
I'm watching it now and my initial reaction in the theater is much magnified. This movie has the worse dialogue I have ever heard. It's worse than an eighties sitcom or an after-school special. It's worse than most of the movies I cable-surf every weekend. What women talk like this? And as I listen to it go and on, who cares?
Reservoir Dogs = brilliant dialogue
Samuel Jackson and John Travolta = brilliant dialogue
Kill Bill (both movies) = sparse but effective dialogue

Rating: - One of the Greatest Car Chases in Film History
Yeah yeah, there is a lot of talking and there is also a lot of talking. This is a Tarantino movie, and his characters love to talk. But if you didn't spend the time hanging out with the girls of Death Proof, then you wouldn't give two s***s about them when it all hits the fan.
As Stuntman Mike, Kurt Russell owns this film - until Zoe Bell shows us what she's made of.

Rating:  - That bad acting in the second half .
If it wasn't for the bad acting in the second half of this film - Rosario Dawson excluded - i would've given it a five star .
The film in short is about psycho stunt man stalker , who kills women using his stunt car . How ? watch the film .
And since it's a tribute to the exploitation films of the past , you'll be treated with coloring problems , sound problems , glitches and that old films lines that shows up on the screen every now and then .Nice .

Rating: - Driving lessons
The whole of the Grindhouse combi pack is in terribly bad taste. The film marketers should have let them out together, not in this separate version. Who can take this stuff twice! Well, I could. Admittedly, I needed about 15 months rest between the two parts.
While the other half, Planet Terror, is an awfully disgusting 'instant modern classic' (what a lovely word combination!) of the superlative zombie genre, in Death Proof we have essentially a combination of substantial boredom with shocking ... Read More
