I was fortunate enough to attend the screening at FACT Cinema in Liverpool with Tarantino himself in attendance. I had already seen the 'Grindhouse' double bill a few weeks ago and whilst I enjoyed it, the stand alone version with the extended cut is far superior. Tracie Thoms as Kim was a standout (reminding me of comedienne Wanda Sykes with her delivery of Tarantino's script) but stunt woman Zoe Bell also deserves a nod for a role in which she performed all of her own stunts with no special effects. Kurt Russell, who is always worth a watch, as Stuntman Mike gives his best performance in 20 years. Whilst not quite up there with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, as ever this Tarantino film deserves a watch, with the script peppered with highly quotable dialogue.
