Kill Bill: Vol. 2

Writer and director Quentin Tarantino's second part of the film continues the revenge saga with more focus on the back story. The Bride continues to kill her way to find her former boss and lover to find out why she was targeted and the motivations are revealed. While the first film satisfied the need for action and fight, the second film delivers on story and character development without abandoning the action altogether. The action sequences are darker and more twisted. Uma Thurman delivers a more nuanced performance along with David Carradine, Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah. Much credit has to go to the excellent team that includes amongst others, cinematographer Robert Richardson, production designer David Wasco and editor Sally Menke who took the vision of Tarantino to new heights with their superb work. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
