Editorial Review:
Director Quentin Tarantino delivers an adrenaline shot to the heart with Death Proof, "a tribute to balls-out pedal-to-the-metal car chases" (Pete Hammond, Maxim). Featuring exhilarating high-speed action, jaw-dropping stunts, and some of the most quotable lines since Pulp Fiction, Death Proof "goes faster, and funnier, than you thought possible...and then it goes further" (Ty Burr, Boston Globe). Kurt Russell stars as a sociopathic stuntman whose taste for stalking sexy young ladies gets him into big trouble when he tangles with the wrong gang of badass babes. Their confrontation escalates to a hair-raising, 18-minute automotive duel with one of the girls strapped to the hood of a thundering Dodge Challenger that "earns a place of honor among the great movie car chases" (Scott Foundas, LA Weekly).
Death Proof [Blu-ray] Reviews:
A Major Letdown 
2009-10-25 - I'm a big fan of Quentin Tarantino movies. Tarantino is well known for his parodies of cheap exploitation films. I thought that Reservoir Dogs was good, Jackie Brown was very good, Pulp Fiction was excellent, and the two Kill Bills were a masterpiece. Death Proof looks like it was thrown together without much thought or intelligence. Worse, it is mean spirited. Death Proof is not a parody. It IS a cheap exploitation film.
Tarantino films have great dialogue and humor and feature interesting characters. There is not a single character I could identify with in this film. If you want to see car crashes, go to a demolition derby.
Maybe... but - No Thanks 
2009-10-14 - I Keep my Jap import deluxe 6 disk, with ALL the good stuff in it - and a Rockin* DTS track. (It's also got the combined version of the to movies.. as it's so-pose to have - why does the Br. version doesent got this? is a pussle.. wassent there more room for all the good stuff?).
grind house 
2009-08-21 - this is at least a four star movie and to some a five its different and crazy and lots of cool scenes
Very Challenging Movie. 
2009-03-30 - Well, to make this short all I have to say is make sure you don't let your kids view this movie. There is LOTS of swearing and cursing. Very foul mouthed movie (as all of Quentin Tarantino movies are.) But a good story and lots of car chase action. Only thing is I couldn't understand why Kurt Russel decided to play the part of stuntman mike. I mean to me it degrades him as a top actor. Maybe he needed the money. He made some pretty good movies in his life time. But this ones A long ways from the movie he made named "Soldier", or, "Wyatt Earp". I think the best movie Tarantino made was "Pulp Fiction". But I've only seen like 4 of his movies.
ACTION & SUSPENSE! 
2009-02-27 - This is a visually stunning adventure worthy to be in anyone's Blu-Ray collection! I am particularly satisfied that this is an extended version of the film, which includes the steamy lap-dance that was cut short from the movie theaters. The action progresses with the movie, and the sound of the roaring engines really put you in the drivers seat. If you have a sound system with your home theater setup, you will enjoy this!
