the Rodriguez film is far superior to Tarantino's effort.
Tarantino's is one ridiculously long car scene. The same thing all but endlessly for minute after eternal minute. And it had a fatal flaw: why didn't the idiot on the hood get off it when Russell's car spun out in the cloud of dust in the field? She had several minutes. Oh, yeah, then the scene would have ended...
The usually sharp Tarantino ear for conversation also failed here: the "girl talk" was boring. Basically, it was snippets of conversations from previous Quentin films.
Rodriguez, on the other hand, had a fantastic story to tell and he did it well. Crisp dialogue, huge dollops of humor, and a fast-paced, action-strong ride from bloody hell.
Quentin looks like hell, by the way. Time for him to retire from service in front of the camera.
Follow Ups:
These movies are odes to the old horror/suspense movies. There are plenty of old suspense/killer movies with lots of talking and then some action. Tarantino can't help but to put in his dialogue (do agree the dude should give up acting) rather than make it ridiculously boring like a lot of these movies are. The silliness of the car chase is there with the obvious plot holes (in how many of those movies does someone show up somewhere at the last minute when they had no way of knowing where to go and no way of getting there?) but the action scene was a great payoff.Rodriguez's movie was easier at it was just a bloody orgy but he did a fine job too. Tarantino's movie was great at the end with the ladies finishing it off. Felt great going out of the theater. The boys delivered on their promises and how.
Tarantino's dialogues, which used to be so F'ing cool, are now predictable and actually, in this flick at least, cringe worthy. And yes, he desparately needs to retire from acting. Typecastr? duhhh. Big ego? Well, what the F did either of the characters contribute in the roles he had? One a sadistic rapist anyone could have played (give a working actor a job QT) and the other, the glad hand owner of the bar. BFD.
