Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Synopsis
Master director Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) indulges his inner fanboy by paying homage to his favourite B-movies in DEATH PROOF. Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) stalks beautiful women with his deadly vintage car, but when he picks a trio of tough girls (Rosario Dawson, Tracie Thoms, and Zoe Bell), he learns they aren’t such easy prey. As with any Tarantino film, there are plenty of nods to pop culture. Most of the scenes are deliberately short on plot development, the dialogue comes thick and fast throughout, and the film stock is often cleverly manipulated to perfectly replicate the B-movie aesthetic. DEATH PROOF was originally released as part of the GRINDHOUSE double feature with Robert Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR.

5.0 out of 5 stars unexpected joy, 6 May 2008
By ricardo (edinburgh) - See all my reviews
a friend lent me his copy ages ago but I never got around to watching it as the reveiws are generaly so bad - what a wee classic! - if you like tarantino, you'll love this - great music (as always) daft but great plot and spectacular car chases etc - up there with Pulp Fiction; though a little short. Still as it was supposed to be a double bill I'm sure when watched with the other one it'll be classed as a all time classic - just wish I could see both back to back at a cinema

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 3 May 2008
By Ani (South Wales) - See all my reviews
I am a Tarantino fan... and I LOVED this film. Not sure why the bad reviews but its probably not the most obvious Tarantino offering to date - I wouldn't have said I watch for the violence but I found myself sitting there wondering "where IS the violence?!!" When the action does come its worth waiting for and personally I love the wordy dialogue. It's no Kill Bill but it's not meant to be. A witty and atmospheric piece well worth a viewing. Will probably have a cult following. Love it or hate it. You decide!

5.0 out of 5 stars Twisted Tarantino, 21 Jan 2008
By Stevie G "Stevie G" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Deathproof has received some negative press and pretty much flopped at the box office. Completely undeserved.

Whether youll like this film depends on whether you find the dialogue in Tarantinos films a work of genius or boring and self indulgent. Because there is a lot of it here. And its much less relevant to the plot as Pulp Fiction was.

The fact most characters are changed at the halfway point may not be to everyones taste either. And the grindhouse effect sometimes makes it look like a dodgy copy. But it makes the film unique, especially after a few watches.
By far the best thing about Death Proof is Stuntman Mike, played excellently by Kurt Russell. One last thing, the car chase finale is absolutely superb.
