Spine #4: Inglourious Basterds

Spine #4, also announced earlier this year, is Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

The 801 Collection's second film from 2009 in just four spines shows that as much as people are saying quality cinema is dead, proves our opinions think otherwise.

Inglourious Basterds is a dramatic, harsh tale that featured the best acting performance of the year (and one of the best all time) by Christoph Waltz. Tarantino does a good job of including some suspense, action, and a bit of comedy in this gritty war movie that features plenty of drama and well spoken dialogue.

Brief Synopsis: In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis.

Release: 2009  |  Runtime: 153 min  |  Rating: R  |  Director: Quentin Tarantino
