Writer/director Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is a violent love story given the cosmetic makeover of an exploitation Western.
It's filled with geysers of blood, hypnotizing villain monologues, great music and some fantastic performances but in the end of it's near 3 hours it leaves much to be desired. Jamie Foxx has the acting charisma to carry it for the first hour but after awhile you realize Tarantino wrote him with hardly any depth or attempts to explore the potentially interesting inner conflicts he faces, which has no excuse considering the insanely long running time. With maybe 25 minutes shaved off and some better scene set-ups I might have been a little more pleased with the end results.
