Death Proof (2007)

Quentin Tarantino's contribution to the Grindhouse double-feature largely hinges on the unpredictable exploits of 'Stuntman Mike' (Kurt Russell). The film shows two separate groups of fun-seeking women and how their lives are affected thanks to interactions with Mike. Whereas Planet Terror was steeped in violence and over-the-top action, Death Proof is an incredibly slow burner. Incredibly slow. The film is two separate stories which essentially follow the same pattern. A group of young, care-free women are stalked silently by Mike and the camera focuses primarily on them and their conversations, before they end up in a brutal confrontation with the sadistic stuntman. While there is no doubt in my mind that Tarantino is capable of some entertaining dialogue (as witnessed in Pulp Fictio...Read more

O liquidificador Quentin Tarantino está de volta com mais uma fascinante obra do cinema norte-americano. Com "À Prova de Morte", seu mais novo filme, Tarantino mistura mais uma vez uma série de ingredientes da sua própria forma. MULHERES Ingrediente essencial para esta obra, as mulheres fazem bonito quando em cena. Batem em homens, andam de carro em alta velcidade, vão ao bar ouvir boa música e, claro, beber demasiadamente. Lindas e sexys, são filmadas em seus melhores ângulos pelo próprio Tarantino: bundas, seios e pernas. Verdadeiras gostosas. CARROS & VELOCIDADE Também indispensável, os carros estão sempre em cena. Lindos, coloridos, velozes e sem o menor medo. Comandando a fotografia, Tarantino assume com propriedade as câmeras e seus recursos para, da melhor forma...Read more

Achieves what it sets out to do. Look at it as anything other than a Grindhouse B-Movie production and you're going to be disappointed. It was great to be reminded of movies like Vanishing Point, Russ Meyer's 'Supervixen's' amongst all the other numerous referenced within. Its no award winner but Death Proof has re-opened a door to a world of movies I need to re-watch. An ending this satisfying will be hard to find amongst them, even I am not that dumb to take on three women.

The Good: - Kurt Russel. He just eminates coolness. He looks better than ever too. Also his portrayal of the menacing antagonist is very convincing (until near the end of the movie). - The music. A very fine and fitting selection as in all Tarantino movies. - The cars. Beauties to behold. A Tarantino standard too. The Bad: - The performances of the female actors. Mediocre at best. - The dialogues. Tarantino got that better (with Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction). If he wanted us to endure this tedious movie, he should have made the dialogues at least interesting or witty. The Ugly: - The story. Where is it? "Death Proof" is almost like a reality soap about three little red ridinghoods talking trash until the motiveless big bad wolf comes out of nowhere and devours th...Read more

Death Proof was a little slow in the beginning, but it worked in the end for me. Tracie Thoms was funny, the acting was pretty good, the deaths were Mortal Kombat worthy, and the end was great! This film was uncredibly underrated, because it is definately worthy of purchase.

Death Proof is the second half of Grindhouse the 2 movie feature that bombed (surprisingly ) in theaters. Death Proof stars Kurt Russell in his most badass role since John Carpenter's "Escape From New Tork".Russell plays stuntman mike a no nonsense no bullshit pychopath who kills people with his "Death Proof" car. the one thing that the this movie lacks is the story line. But, the suspense is very much there. with Zoe Bell hanging on top of the hood of a car in an 18 minute car chase.And the enoyable dialogue which is allways hullarious. kurt Russell's very good acting (in this movie) and plenty of good cameos "Death Proof" is sure to please all Tarrantino fans. co-stars Vannessa Ferlito,mary Elizabeth Winstead,Rose Mc Gowan, and Rosario Dawson.
