Finished watching The Hateful Eight, directed by Quentin Tarantino and staring Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, James Parks, Samuel L Jackson, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Demián Bichir and Dana Gourrier. The film opens up with bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) heading to Red Rock to collect his bounty. On the way to the town their carriage driver O.B. Jackson (James Parks) stops when he notices another bounty hunter, Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L Jackson) with three bodies hoping to get a ride with John and Daisy. While further on the road they come across the new sheriff of Red Rock Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins) as the group decided to take shelter at a local lodge to get away from the escalating snow storm. At the lodge the group are met by the local hangman Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), cowboy Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), army veteran Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern) and Bob (Demián Bichir), who is looking after the place for its owner Minnie (Dana Gourrier). Overall this was a great film as the character interactions throughout the film are great as they help to further develop characters backstory with Marquis' views and experience in the American Civil War and society helps to explore his backstory along with the history behind Sanford and Chris as well as the two have very strong views on the subject. While the relationships between the characters which are formed and shown throughout the film are great and the friendship between John and Marquis helps to further the story thanks to the distrust John has for everyone in the lodge due to having Daisy as his prisoner until he collects the bounty in Red Rock. While the friendship that Marquis and Chris have at the end of the film after having to unite on a common ground gives a satisfying ending to the film which leaves it on a slightly positive note. The use of the film being broken up into chapters is great as part way through the film Quentin Tarantino starts to narrate which helps to change the tone of the film a little by showcasing the different ideas that he went through while writing the story. 8/10.
