Quentin Tarantino pulled off another darkly grotesque comedy that was, as I expected it to be, brilliantly done. Tarantino’s first shot at a western flick came in the form of “Django Unchained” an action comedy revolving around slavery that at times was laugh out loud funny and not awfully offensive.

Set two years before the start of the Civil War, the movie follows the slave Django (Jamie Fox) who becomes a free man when dentist and bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) shoots and kills his captors. Without revealing too much, in exchange for being made a free man, Django becomes a bounty hunter as well and partners up with Schultz.

Standard Tarantino quality is to be expected: a lot of blood, a lot of humor, racism that is more or less true to the time. Samuel L. Jackson blesses us once again with his presence.

The soundtrack was one of the most noteworthy parts of the movie because its uniqueness made “Django Unchained” a western of its own. The soundtrack has songs that came from the original 1966 version of Django  music from other spaghetti western movies; however, this time a handful of music artists made original tracks for the movie itself, including Frank Ocean, John Legend, Rick Ross and Ennio Morricone to name a few.

The movie cleared my expectations, having been a diehard fan of his earlier works, “Pulp Fiction,” “Kill Bill” and so on. The movie is high on the violent side but worth watching if you can handle the copious amount of blood and like a nice dark comedy.
