video review : Kill Bill [ Volume 2 ]

This second half of Bill Kill focuses less on action and more on plot, which, unlike sword-slicing the story in two, wasn’t a bad idea on the part of Quentin Tarantino. His knack for dialogue has a chance to bare its face as there’s more talking here than violent combat shots.

The character conversations and monologues, sometimes spoken directly to the audience, help fill in the many plot holes and gives the story, which has to do with revenge, some purpose. Still it never comes close to becoming the masterpiece it was apparently meant to be.
