In Reply to: Tarantino's comeback.....Kill Bill posted by michael w on September 30, 2002 at 22:22:42:
anything at all to do with a "failed robbery" which from Reservoir Dogs on through from Dawn to Dusk and beyond has to be the most done-to-death theme a director has ever monotonously trotted out. SURELY there's another story in this director (OK, Desperado is exempt, so's "4-Rooms" and both dreadful anyway)
The very, very best Tarantino vehicle to date is "Killing Zoe", he wrote the screenplay, Roger Avary directed (Avary's first film)
It is about...gasp... a failed robbery, but you kinda knew that already, huh?
Eric Stoltz is passable, but Jean-Hughes Anglade is Tarantinos darkest, creepiest, most credible Antihero yet. Film doesn't get any more NOIR than "Zoe", loved it. Let's see Tarantino he can top that, or just more blood and silliness
