Storyline
Some time after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. Bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive captive Daisy Domergue race towards the town of Red Rock, where Ruth will bring Daisy to justice. Along the road, they encounter Major Marquis Warren (an infamous bounty hunter) and Chris Mannix (a man who claims to be Red Rocks new sheriff). Lost in a blizzard, the bunch seeks refuge at Minnies Haberdashery. When they arrive they are greeted by unfamiliar faces: Bob, who claims to be taking care of the place while Minnie is gone; Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock; Joe Gage, a cow puncher; and confederate general Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside, the eight travelers come to learn that they might not make it to Red Rock after all...
Viewers Reviews
Fine acting, fine set, fine camera work, BIG however many in between scenes are just loong with not much happening. The opening scene is just plain looong... nothing happening to setup us for whats to come... it takes an achingly long time to watch Daisy to ask for and go fetch a guitar from the other side of the room. Then theres the domino effect triggered and seemingly overly gratuitous killing... its also fringed with a particularly overt violent and cruel killing of truly innocent female characters.
All that for what?
There is one really major flaw in this film. Spoiler: Why didnt Jodys gang just ambush and kill John Ruth upon entering Minnies Haberdasherie? Logic and simplicity suggest that this would have been a very good idea to avoid the long game the Demorgue gang played out in the film.
That and the adventurous unleashed use of the n word goes beyond the bounds for such silly fictitious story. Had the story been more reality based such frequent use of the n word might have been more acceptable.
This film lacked heart, decency and plot. If you like gratuitous, senseless violence this is for you.
Tarantino failed to deliver something the real goods movie lovers love.
