Inglorious Basterds Review

Inglorious Basterd is Quniton Tarantino's latest effort and this time round he is both writer and director. The film is set during the second world war in Nazi occupied France and focuses on the war taking place off the battlefield. While there is indeed action, this is decidedly more thriller than action flick.

We meet Lieutenant Aldo Reine (Brad Pitt) as he assembles a crack team of Jewish-Amercian soldiers to drop in behind enemy lines and engage in some good, old fashioned guerrilla warfare to both thin out the Nazi ranks and lower the morale of German soldiers by scaring the living shit out of them.
Of course, this is more that a simple tale of Nazi head hunting, but revealing any more of the plot here would only diminish your enjoyment of the film.
