AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
duncanpumpkinhead This film is unusual and has the sorts of twists and suspense that is unique to Tarantino style!
saratoga_lgo For me, one of the best movies of Quentin Tarantino. With an apparently too basic script, he creates the iconic character of Kurt Russell. The original soundtrack supports all the resources of the director, and there are a lot of winks to old road movies. In summary: Tarantino in pure state.
Tweekums This is a film of two halves; each with a similar setup but a different outcome. In the first three girls in Texas stop off at a bar where they meet up with a friend before intending to set off for a weekend at a lakeside house. In the bar they chat and flirt and are approached by a man who introduces himself as Stuntman Mike. Eventually they leave, Mike leaves as well, along with a girl he offered a lift to. It immediately becomes obvious that something is wrong; he is in a sealed compartment in his 'death proof' stunt car and she is thrown around. He then overtakes the other girls, turns round and crashes into them killing them all instantly.He survives and fourteen months later he is stalking another three girls in Tennessee who are also meeting up with a friend; in this case New Zealand Stuntwoman Zoë Bell. She has something she wants to do while she is in America; drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger… one of which is for sale nearby. They take it for a test drive during which she wants to do a stunt; ride on the bonnet holding on to belts attached to the wing mirrors. As she does this Stuntman Mike attacks and a terrifying chase takes place; these girls are tough though; they turn the tables and soon Mike is fleeing for his life.This film does have some impressive moments; mostly during the chase in the second half however there is far too much talking. Tarantino has created some great dialogue in his previous films but here there is too much talking… mostly from the girls who's dialogue may be snappy but isn't all that realistic. The first half is dedicated to introducing characters who will mostly end up dead; only Mike appears in both halves and his character isn't that interesting; he is just nasty. The second half is much better as the characters are more interesting, the confrontation between them and Mike is sustained and features some genuinely impressive stunts featuring Zoë Bell playing herself. The cast do a decent enough job although given that it is meant to feel like a trashy, low budget film it is hard to judge as there is some deliberate bad acting at times. Overall this is okay for Tarantino fans but is could have done with losing twenty minutes or so in the first half.
Gilly 97 Mr. Quentin Tarantino brought back the classic slasher genre by making a film in the style of B-movies from back in the day. Starring Kurt Russell as a psycho who goes by the name of "Stuntman Mike", Death Proof sort of tricks the audience by focusing on a certain group of girls for roughly the first 40 minutes of the film until Stuntman Mike "Does his work". During the rest of the movie, Kurt Russell's character has his eyes set on another group of girls. This time however, things won't go as he expected. Compared to Tarantino's other work, Death Proof doesn't seem so great but in the end, it's a fun thriller to watch.
