In 1994 Quentin Tarantino said one day he was going to do a "guys on a mission" movie. That day has arrived, and Inglourious Basterds is the movie. An epic tale of wild characters and wilder action, it has Brad Pitt as a US lieutenant leading Jewish soldiers in vendetta missions against the Nazis, Melanie Laurent as a French-Jew planning to avenge her family's murder, and a show-stealing, chilling and comic performance from Christoph Waltz as a cunning SS officer. That this is a Tarantino war movie means memorable dialogue and graphic violence are guaranteed. One mission worth signing up for.
