Kill Bill: Vol. 2

Quentin Tarantino’s ultimate tale of betrayal and revenge concludes with this break taking follow-up.

Synopsis: Having already crossed two names from her Death List, The Bride is back with a vengeance and taking aim at Budd (Michael Madsen) and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), the only survivors from the squad of assassins who betrayed her four years earlier. It’s all leading up to the ultimate confrontation with Bill (David Carradine), The Bride’s former master and the man who ordered her execution.

AroView: The second half of Quentin Tarantino’s revenge saga is an uneven but redeeming affair that brings closure to his magnum opus with more character and humour while filling in some of the blankness of its predecessor.

Picking up the background and action Stateside, Thurman’s “The Bride” returns to mercilessly (and imaginatively) slay the three outlaws remaining on her hitlist - Michael Madsen, Darryl Hannah, and David Carradine (Bill himself). While self-indulgent to the max, and padded out with dialogue that doesn’t always fit the Bill (Carradine is more icon than actor), QT throws in enough plot hi-jinks and wacky inspiration to still separate him from his imitators.
