726081, I think this is a good movie that easily could have been great.

It's funny after seeing the, I thought, terrible Murder on the Orient Express I have been feigning to see a good mystery. So much so that I watched Clue last week.

This for most of the movie was the mystery I was looking for. But, I will admit it, I am getting older and the violence is hard to get over.

(spoilers)

It just seems so immature in QT movies. Sam Jackson's speech to the old man. Him getting his nuts shot off, the woman repeated punched in the face and ultimately hanged. All these this violence that was played for laughs I just can't ride with.

If it had been scaled back and taken more seriously I feel like this could have been a great movie of a mystery that explores the raw nerves left by the civil war, but then I guess it wouldn't have been a QT movie.
