Quentin Tarantino's long-gestating (and much anticipated) World War II epic is sure to delight fans of his artful touch with dialogue and visuals. Brad Pitt stars as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, an American soldier who leads a band of Jewish-American troops in their brutal, violent revenge against the Nazis. NATIONAL TREASURE’s Diane Kruger also stars as a German actress and double agent who is in on the group’s biggest plan yet. Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Til Schweiger, and Mike Myers are also featured in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS’ large cast.

Review 1:
4 stars out of 5 -- "QUENTIN TARANTINO allows full reign to his boyish enthusiasm with INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, which takes an impish delight in sending up such Second World War adventures as THE DIRTY DOZEN and WHERE EAGLES DARE..."

Review 5:
"[I]t immediately introduces us to its most polished, most successful character, Landa, beautifully played by German-born Waltz....Having just as much fun is Pitt, who seems more relaxed and comfortable in these comic character parts than in conventional leading man roles."

Review 9:
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Within the first frames of writer/director Quentin Tarantino's audacious dismantling of history, you may feel as if you took a hit of pure oxygen. His tale, with its tense and jangly pacing, is immediately riveting."
