Quentin Tarantino is always known to make a straight cut with the title of his film and “Inglorious Bastards” is no different. It is as radically different as may come. Though many are crediting the film to be self indulgent, not many are going ahead to state that it is not enjoyable. The movies achieves its aim thoroughly and delivers beyond expectations (which were high, considering its a Tarantino flick) and we have a master piece delivered straight from the exceedingly talented master filmmaker’s stable.

The film is a two hours 32 minutes franchise and it is darkly humorous (as Tarantino ventures are always), and is touted to be another movie drawer this year. The movie tailor fits all the political details exceedingly well. However, it seems like, that at times the narrative does slacken somewhat. The resulting outcome is that the five chapters that the movie is divided in to does not exactly merge in to each other, as had been the case with other Tarantino films like the “Pulp Fiction” and “Kill Bill” (volume 1 and 2). There are moments of tension in the film, but it does not successfully mount. The intrigue factor too, is not sustained for long enough.

Brad Pitt essays the character of the Lieutenant Aldo Raine, who is the leader of the band of WWII Jewish-American soldiers. The regiment is sent on a “Dirty Dozen” styled mission that requires them to get behind the enemy lines and collect almost a hundred Nazi scalps. It is of no coincidence that Pitt plays Raine unassumingly well ans is a delight to watch, as he fills the screen. Diane Kruger is forthcoming in her role as the double agent, as are the others of the cast, like Melanie Laurent.
