I'm not going to mention the gaping plot hole that the sheriff of Red Rock, and two bounty hunters living in the local area don't know what the most wanted criminals in the area look like. It's pretty ridiculous but I'm willing to overlook it, so I'm just not going to talk about it even though it's absolutely ******ed. Not going to even mention it. It's especially irksome because Kurt recognizes the sheriff as the son of some general in a state that is across the country, but still I'm not going to bring up how stupid that was. Also not going to mention leaving the general alive because he makes the cabin look better. Too stupid to waste time on.

So the movie is quite slow, but still interesting until the main characters arrive at the cabin and Sam Jackson talks about pulling out his dingus. Then the movie just goes to ****. This hour + buildup of the main characters is pretty much completely forgotten almost instantly. The sheriff forgets all his racism and buddies up with Sam despite the fact that Sam just murdered his hero. What was playing out like an intricate battle of wits just turns into a masturbatory film for QT. (I guess it is called Hateful 8 afterall, even though there's always at least 9 characters [10 with the guy in the floorboards] so that's to be expected though) The action is just gruesome for the sake of being gruesome and once the action starts it completely erases all the good build up done in the first half of the movie. The flashbacks also just didn't work for me. The narrator was awful, and this further erases the first part's build up because it just turns out that these are the bad guys and the rest doesn't matter. Would have been way more interesting if the movie had continued to explore the characters and kill them off in intelligent ways like Sam and the general's feud. Instead it just moves into mindless QT violence. While fine for some movies (I just talked about how much I like Kill bill 1 and 2 [had to include the 1 and 2 out of spite ] it's not fine when I've sat through an hour + build up for half the characters.)
