You people are crazy who are giving this such a low review. This is cinema classic - fantastic, witty dialog, lots of humor, two amazing action scenes, one consisting of an outstanding car stunt that always gives me chills in the stomach, and a great "women's revenge" ending. I could watch this anywhere, any time and be thoroughly entertained. This movie has two distinct halves to it, and both are great. But you have to enjoy the buildup of we'll crafted dialogue. If all you want is mindless crap, don't watch a Tarantino movie.

Death Proof is a great movie. Kurt Russell's character is so bad ass, that it basically makes the movie. Forget about Planet Terror. Death Proof is where it's at.The movie is about a group of girls that are stunt women. They meet Kurt Russell's character at a bar, and he ends up trying to kill them. It backfires, and he soon becomes the prey. And these stunt women definitely have some tricks up their sleeves.The movie runs slow, and the suspense builds. There are lots of scenes where the characters are merely talking, and we just get a sense of regular life and how people deal with each other. It's very slow, and that makes the action and violence much better suited. And there's definitely a lot of that.8 Stars, not bad at all

Filmgoers who are familiar with Quentin Tarantino knows that movies are his passion and most probably his sole love. 'Death Proof' is the product of Tarantino's love for movies which surpasses his drive for creating his own brand of movies. This is the work of a director who wants to recreate a forgotten genre that appealed to him once. Therefore 'Death Proof' has more elements of the slasher genre than Tarantino's own unique style of film-making. All that being said, 'Death Proof' is definitely not one of his finest works. The action elements in the movie are so wide apart and is ridden with many dialogues that are stuffed with references of the movies that either 'Death Proof' has drawn inspiration from or plays into the theme of the story. While these dialogues between the characters of the movie about random things is one of Tarantino's signature elements, in 'Death Proof' they seem out of place and sometimes even hollow which is worsened by weak performances and lack of chemistry between some of the characters. Despite these disappointments, when there is action it is top-notch and deserves to be applauded for its technical proficiency.To sum it all up, 'Death Proof', while does not engage you consistently, gives you just enough to distinguish itself from many of the other passable movies.

Mr. Quentin Tarantino brought back the classic slasher genre by making a film in the style of B-movies from back in the day. Starring Kurt Russell as a psycho who goes by the name of "Stuntman Mike", Death Proof sort of tricks the audience by focusing on a certain group of girls for roughly the first 40 minutes of the film until Stuntman Mike "Does his work". During the rest of the movie, Kurt Russell's character has his eyes set on another group of girls. This time however, things won't go as he expected. Compared to Tarantino's other work, Death Proof doesn't seem so great but in the end, it's a fun thriller to watch.
