"Kill Bill: Vol. 1" is a pretty good film that sees an assassin plot her revenge against her ruthless employer, Bill, and other members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. While this film is highly entertaining, with great acting and cinematography, the level of violence in this one is excessive and cartoonish. It felt more self-serving than thematically appropriate. It's also hard to connect with the protagonist, given how ruthless she is and that her name remains a mystery in this first volume. I will say that the showdown between her and O-Ren Ishii was great, not feeling either anti-climatic or over-the-top at all, and perhaps the best scene of the film.
Overall, quality film for Tarantino, though not on the level of his previous films.
