10.Death Proof(2007)
Death Proofin last place?
This is an obscenity.
Yes,Death Proofis by far Tarantino’s lightest film.

But it’s also its own kind of departure.

7.Kill Bill: Vol.
2(2004)
Kill Bill: Vol 2is much more subdued than its first half.
Andrew Cooper
(It may, in fact, qualify as Tarantinos first Western.)
Unlike the massacre of the Crazy 88, the Bride only kills one person in this movie.
When she does finally fulfill her titular objection, it doesnt feel triumphant.
Andrew Cooper
It feels hollow and sad just like real violence.
She delivers the goods, as does Samuel L. Jackson in his most tacitly sinister performance.

Andrew Cooper/Columbia
It belongs to the ages now.
