Review-Tarentino is known for a lot of things, gore, action, and straight up cool stuff. Basterds seems to move away from that if only in a small way. Instead of the intense action and violence being the center point of this film the the story is the center. And it really is a good pseudo alternate reality kind of story. It's strong, intelligent and really brings you into the other reality. Brad Pitt was hilarious, as the trailers show him to be. The way he talks is a little ridiculous and can be grating at times, but he pulls off a funny character. What is really suprising is how french actress Melanie Laurent completely steals the movie. I have never seen her in anything else, looking her up on imdb it seems she's only done french films. But she is charming, beautiful, and vicious all at the same time. I hope this lauches a career in american cinema for her, because she is amazing. All in all Basterds was a really good movie and it seems to be a step up from Tarentinos normal offensive movie to something dramatically engaging. I'd love to see what he comes up with next.
