Grindhouse
MOVIE
In the world of Grindhouse, no limb remains attached to its torso, no shirt unsnoiled by blood. If you're a guy, your balls are coming off. Ladies, your nether region is going to be mutilated, either by a knife or a guy who still has his balls.
And if you're a Thanksgiving turkey,I'm sorry.
Shocking, yes, but did we really expect anything less from the sick minds of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino?
The film consists of two separate features. Planet Terror, Rodriguez's contribution, plays like a retro zombie flick on steroids, beginning with a toxic gas leak that produces skin infections that make acne-ridden adolescent faces look attractive by comparison. But nasty pus pops get old quickly, and it doesn't take long to realize that there's someone waiting behind each door. The blood and guts overexposure desensitizes the audience to the point of boredom.
The hilarious intermission sequence wakes us up and Tarantino's half, Death Proof, recaptures our attention. Tarantino understands the
value of a little exposition;
knowing a bit about his
characters makes the eventual
severances all the more
gruesome.
The innocents are two groups of girls looking for fun who are oh-s-rudely interrupted by Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a stalker who doesn't spare flashing the audience the "it's all too easy" look. But this time he's underestimated his targets. The female redemption — à la Kill Bill — is a refreshing conclusion to what at times feels like Rodriguez and Tarantino's twisted sexual fantasy being played out onscreen.
