Death Proof is probably Tarantino’s most underrated movie. Not that it’s some masterpiece by any means, but it’s a damn good time. I don’t really know a whole lot about grindhouse cinema by any means but if it’s anything like this, then it seems like a group of pretty high-octane action romps. Honestly though, Death Proof was awesome!


I think it’s Tarantino’s shortest movie, and if it isn’t, it definitely feels like it is. It’s a movie that’s pretty much divided into two different situations. The one with the women in the bar, and the second group of women who go for a test drive. What’s consistent with both groups is Kurt Russell. The man is absolutely insane in this. He’s able to portray this crazy devil under the surface, all while remaining ‘cool’ to the naked eye. But I think my favourites from this were a hundred percent Zoë Bell and Tracie Thoms. I just really loved their chemistry and the sense of camaraderie. Also a huge bonus was that Bell did her own stunts, including that of the incredible final sequence. This final sequence is shot beautifully, is pretty captivating and thrilling too. And the final moments are so fucking perfect and satisfying. The whole movie builds up to it, and it’s executed perfectly! One of my personal favourite freeze frames. I don’t have any real negatives to be honest, just that the acting wasn’t always good, and y’know the typical weird Tarantino-isms are present (as usual). Overall though, I’m gonna give it an 8.2 out of 10! Definitely not his worst movie! Have y’all seen this one???
