Leave your thoughts about Death Proof.
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsThe problem for Tarantino in Death Proof is that the girl talk that occupies so much of the running time is anything but true to the culture 50 years ago. The setting is contempo, but the movie style is period |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA mindless action film meant solely for Tarantino fans. |
| Window to the MoviesJeffrey ChenA well-controlled buildup of expectations, suspense, and character contrast. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesDeath Proof is superbly made. There's a terrible tension watching these beautiful and spirited young women getting too close to the flame, followed by enormous relief when the mood changes in the second story. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirPusher III is also, far more clearly than the earlier films, a chronicle of life in the rapidly changing ethnic mix of western Europe. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxIf you want to do this material justice... hold off on it until the release of Planet Terror and then watch them both together. |
| Sky CinemaElliott NobleLadies and gentlemen, Quentin Tarantino presents Death Proof: another feature-length gimmick that chokes two screamingly good action sequences in a smog of self-indulgent, self-referential, self-satisfied flatulence. |
| Total FilmMatt MuellerNow with added lapdance, QT's B-movie homage to cars and girls deploys its cheap thrills with laid-back craft and class. Russell's wicked fun, Bell's a true trooper. Distributors! Can we have Planet Terror now, please? |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerTarantino has a blast with this affectionate nod to '70s exploitation flicks, but the dialogue isn't as good as it should have been. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineWhile playing by the rules--scantily clad women, sudden brutality, straightforward narrative--he also gleefully subverts the genre to keep us thoroughly entertained. |
