MovieMail's Review
After the exhilarating bloodbath that was Volume One, The Bride’s roaring rampage of revenge reaches its inevitable conclusion in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Volume 2.
Where the first instalment focused on The Bride and her superhuman capacity for swordplay, Volume 2 is a more intimate affair. Full of the rich Tarantino dialogue that we know and love, this is more Leone than Bruce Lee, more spaghetti than snowblood. The sand-blasted cast squint into the desert sun, despatching their wisdom before each showdown to a suitably Morricone-esque theme. Indeed, the performances here are richer and more complex – Uma Thurman's Bride may be the most formidable and complete hero since Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. Volume Two sees jealousies, loves and relationships revealed, and with them the full extent of Tarantino's vision. If Volume One was brilliant but flawed, the second part confirms Kill Bill as a unique epic fable.
The second volume of Tarantino's delirious homage to the revenge exploitation movie packs a characteristically visceral punch. Switching tone from the balletic martial arts action of the first instalment, Volume Two sees a return to more familiar Tarantino territory: eye-catching cameos, infectiously offbeat monologues and pulse-racing violence abounds.
Having dispensed with former colleagues O-Ren Ishii and Vernita Green in the first volume, The Bride (Uma Thurman) resumes her quest for justice in this second installment of Tarantino's jaw-droppingly violent homage to action films from both East and West. The Bride now has two remaining foes on her 'Death List', Budd (Michael Madsen) and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) - before she moves on to her ultimate goal - to kill Bill (David Carradine).
