Hateful Eight - 7/10
Good story, neat twist, beautifully shot, ridiculously over the top violence, very funny and self aware, but let down by a couple of things...
The accents were properly all over the place. There's a reason certain characters are faking it and some do it well (Tim Roth) but others, most notably Channing Tatum, do not.
Having Channing Tatum listed in the opening credits kind of kills the twist. Once you've been introduced to everyone else and they've made a big point of how they'll be spending the rest of the film in the cabin I started to work out what was going on and picking sides. They should have done a Se7en and left him off.
Total overuse of the term "nigger". This isn't a word I find offensive, and in certain scenes it did make sense, but there were times it seemed as though it was just chucked in for the sake of it which totally pulled me out of the story. My viewing companions agreed.
I'm seeing it again through the week so I'll see if my other mate thinks the same.
