Quentin Tarantino is known for his unique storytelling and stylised violence portrayed across his films, and whilst Pulp Fiction and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood make up some of his most iconic films, this war film by the renowned filmmaker is absolutely loved by fans who have rated it highly.
Inglourious Basterds was released in 2009 and is set in Nazi-occupied France during World War 2. The plot involves a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S soldiers that coincides with a theatre owner’s plans to do the same.
The impressive film was nominated for a huge 173 awards and went on to win 134 of them, including at the Oscars. The drama-filled and action-packed film has 8.4 stars out of 10 on the Internet Movie Database, with reviews left by fans labelling it as the “perfect Tarantino movie”.
“This is a perfect Tarantino movie. It’s explosive and exciting while also deep and well thought out. It took me a minute to get used to reading so many subtitles because of the variety of languages used, but I think that’s a quality that makes the movie even more enticing.
“It is incredibly well done, and it had a hold of me from beginning to end. Fair warning for any Tarantino movie, be prepared for the gore”, Laurabethc1 wrote.
Billy_Costigan praised the film for being Quentin Tarantino’s best since his 1994 film, Pulp Fiction.
They wrote: “I can’t imagine a director whose thirst for blood and violence is greater than Quentin Tarantino’s. (At least in his films) Inglourious Basterds is no different. We all know Tarantino, the guy who exploded on the scene in the early 90s with cult classics, such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
“Since, he has been a disappointment for some. Well, I am relieved to say, Tarantino has not lost his touch. He brings us his best since Pulp Fiction and thankfully so.”
Inglourious Basterds is streaming on Amazon Prime and Netflix
