Description:
A deranged stuntman stalks his victims from the safety of his killer car, but when he picks on the wrong group of badass babes, all bets are off in an adrenaline-pumping, high speed, white-knuckle automotive duel of epic proportions, where anything can happen.
Amazon.com:
Loud, fast, and proudly out of control, Grindhouse is a tribute to the low-budget exploitation movies that lurked at drive-ins and inner city theaters in the '60s and early '70s. Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. -- Paul Gaita

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie! If your a muscle car lover,hot chick lover,Tarantino movie lover, you must purchase this movie! Not to give it away but the part when Stunt Man Mike Rams the chicks car and they replay it over and over.... so you can see the damage done, OMG!!! love it. I own the sound track and it's sweet "riding" music! If your a bad @ss at heart or in true life, own it!
Rating:  - Fun
This movie doesn't live up to the Tarantino brand by any means, doesn't hold a candle to other films like Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, or Jackie Brown. The dialogue, I'm sad to say, is not all that engaging, and that's what I'm really looking for in a Tarantino flick.
Tarantino does deliver on other trademarks, though, including getting a great performance from a washed up actor (Russell) and providing lots of laughs.
Then again, the movie is supposed to be completely ... Read More
Rating:  - I don't even want to give this film one star.
A little backstory on why I even watched this film. My fiance was a fine arts/art history major in college and I was at a party with a mess of her friends after a gallery show of theirs. We got to talking about movies and this film came up, as it had just been released in the theaters. I stuck my foot in my mouth by making a snap judgement in from of a couple of artsy fartsys who would rather try to present this movie as a gift from god than the utter piece of garbage it is. They got on my case about ... Read More
Rating: - People (Reviewers) forget they are watching film noir Great stuff
I think because It's got that grain In the film like It's an old film IS FOR A REASON these reviewers forget. They are looking for a slickly produced fast paced money making thrill ride. NOT THE MOVIE HE'S MAKING!
Notice the black & white scenes.
This was done great for what Quenton was trying to do.
I do agree about the "Why Does He Have To Have A Sensless Part In Every Movie."
It's not a 5 star movie No but It's not trying to be.
And people are right the counterpart ... Read More
Rating: - Entertaining, A High Velocity Kinda Ride
Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" displays a great exploitation film.
Kurt Russell stars as a psychotic, maniacal stunt driver. He enjoys high speed pursuits racking up terror, and delivering his sinister glares. The film is really simple in nature, entertaining enough to view a few times over. Slabbing the 'grindhouse' name in order to authenticate its manor may of hurt its success, but it really is a decent worthwhile film. Movies of this nature are becoming rarer, and many are often utter garbage. ... Read More
