Wished this was more of a Dirty Dozen type film
I mean just a group of guys on a mission film with a ton of famous faces, with Tarantino's dialogue with a great villain in Christoph Waltz out to stop them. I just was never gripped that much by Melanie Laurent's storyline, nothing agaisnt her performance but all the best stuff happens when she's not on screen. The ending is silly fun. But this film could have been so much for me, maybe it's my expectations weren't met.
But I loved the stuff with Michael Fassbender and Diane Kurger in the bar plus the opening are the standout scenes. I liked Daniel Bruhl performance, and felt somewhat bad for him. Waltz is fantastic, and is a slimy villain. Pitt is fine, he's done better. Overall it's a fine film but It's nowhere near Tarantino's best work. Surprised it's 8.3 on Imdb.
