Quentin Tarantino's latest film, The Hateful Eight, is a post-Civil War spaghetti western that is predominately dialogue driven and broken up into six chapters. The first half of the film takes place mostly in a stagecoach and the last half of the narrative in the destination spot of Minnie's Haberdashery. Tarantino is careful not to reveal much of the narrative details until the right moment, which result in many plot twists as the characters reveal themselves to be not who they were once thought to be. Also, with hidden motives that are explained during the later chapters in the film. The Hateful Eight attempts to tackle ideas of racial and gender conflicts, while referencing Tarantino's earlier films, most notably Reservoir Dogs.
Strong cinematography by Robert Richardson and the musical score by Ennio Morricone add a fine touch, but is also the audience expectation of Tarantino at this point in his career. Jennifer Jason Leigh does a fine acting job in a role that requires her to mostly be chained alongside her abusive bounty hunter, played by Kurt Russell. Samuel L. Jackson also gives an excellent performance as Major Marquis Warren.
