Death proof (2007)

Also Known As: Todischer
Year of first release: 2007
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Actors: Kurt Russell, Zoe Bell
Country: USA
Genre: Action
Conditions of visioning: 01.01.2013, DVD
Synopsis: Two separate sets of voluptuous women are stalked at different times by a scarred stuntman who uses his "death proof" cars to execute his murderous plans. 
Review: The action movie that all the fans of ZZtop ever dreamt! Girls, cars, rock'n'roll. As usual with Tarantino, the music and dialogues are great. Most of the scenes are around a table in bars. The highlight of the movie is the car chase, maybe the most spectacular ever. So, this good action movie could seem to be for men, but the emancipation of women is one big topic, even if it appears like in Russ Meyer's movie Faster, pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Rating: 7/10

  1. I love that movie. It is a bit too long and verbose, but this comes from the fact that it was extended to 1h30 from 1h, when it was supposed to play in Double Feature with Planet Terror.
    Kurt Russel is maybe in his best role since he played Snake Pliskens in New York 1997.
    The highlight of the movie for me is when he wins a lapdance...
    For great car races, watch also French Connection or Bullit.
