In general, the story was pretty good. It was a decent thriller with some jump, scare moments, some gruesome body stuff and a pretty good twist. It also reflected the realities of mental health and clingy relationships. I've heard some complain about the pacing towards the middle/end but in my opinion, the pacing was fine. It didn't feel drawn out and it ended exactly when it should've.

The characters themselves were pretty good. Sydney Sweeney did a decent job. She's not gonna win a Grammy for her performance, but she played her role well of the innocent but beautiful woman and has a good character arc.

I really did like how they used music and different camera angles to set a very tense tone.

Overall, it's in decent movie with some good tense moments and a pretty good story.

Everyone and everything in this film is amazing. If you don't know, this film is both kill bills in one with an intermission. They took out some of the cliffhanger stuff and added a few more details and scenes. I was lucky enough to catch the last showing at my local theater.

Uma Therma was amazing as Beatrix. There were also many all stars in the cast like Lucy Liu and Micheal Madsen. The antagonist Bill was perfectly evil and despicable. The character development is great. You know each character so well.

The action is great and extremely intense. So visceral and real. The cinematographer and stunt choreographer did an amazing job bringing these fights to life. And in this version we see it even better with no shielding to make it look less brutal.

This film is typical Paul Thomas Anderson, so if you didn't like his other films, he most likely won't like this one. But if you do, you'll love it.

I was lucky enough to see this on the re-issue. I kicked myself in the ass for missing it when it first hit theaters. As always, Paul Thomas Anderson tells an amazing story with great characters and some top-notch cinematography..

The story itself was a bit long and at times, paced awkwardly and the end was a bit too long. It could've been cut by at least 15 minutes. But other than that, the story was great with a lot of twists and turns in a lot of tension.

The characters were the driving force behind this movie. Leonardo DiCaprio did a great job as the lead protagonist. Sean Penn did an amazing and comically over the top antagonist. And Benicio Del Toro did a great job in his limited role.
