The Hateful Eight


The Hateful Eight Official Teaser Trailer #1 (2015) - Samuel L. Jackson Movie HD

Not a great movie, not even a very good movie. Mostly a series of scenes where the characters run their mouths. The production values are great, you don't see too many stagecoaches any more, and I don't think I've ever seen one pulled by six horses. But the story doesn't flow, it's just not believable. There is a great deal of gratuitous blood and violence, some it is so over the top that it's funny. There were a couple things that didn't ring true. A guitar gets smashed for a slight offense. Smashing a guitar might very well have been a hanging offense, in those times, being as it was likely the only one within a hundred miles. The bad guys dump some bodies down the well, another anti-social act. Killing and stealing are respectable occupations in comparison. The bounties on the criminals were for amounts in the thousands of dollars which are ridiculously high. In comparison the bounty offered for Billy the Kid was $500.
