As writer/director Quentin Tarantino has
repeatedly stated, if Kill Bill: Volume 1
was all about asking questions, then Kill
Bill: Volume 2 is the film that delivers the
answers. And we can't imagine anyone
being disappointed by this final part of the
Bride's quest for revenge.
Kill Bill: Volume 2 picks up with Uma
Thurman's Bride continuing on her path
towards the inevitable confrontation with
former lover/boss/mentor Bill (David
Carradine). However, before she gets there
she has to face Bill's brother Budd (Michael
Madsen) and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah),
who will do everything in their power to
stop her. And even if she does make it to
Bill, will she be able to cope with the final
surprise he has in store for her?
Far more like a 'typical' Tarantino film
than its predecessor, ...Volume 2 will be a
delight for QT fans, but offers little to
change the views of those who have never
fallen for his previous movies. It's a far
looser film than the first part, playfully
combining the operatics of the spaghetti
western with film noir leanings and more
old school kung-fu. Really a series of
highly entertaining set-pieces rather than a
cohesive story, but when the end product
is this much fun, who cares?
