If you ever wondered what ever happened to a lot of the character actors from the 60s and 70s who seem to have disappeared into the sunset, you're in luck as many of them pop up in bit roles in Django Unchained. Very strong performances by everyone concerned, even the old goats. If you're the type of person who is not put off by gratuitous violence and Tanantino's apparent fondness for certain words in the English language that begin with consonants you will most likely be highly entertained.
