That’s when Tarantino’s clever, sinister structure in a one room pres- sure setting takes you on a crazy ride. “The Hateful Eight’ gives you everything (and the kitchen sink). If you like mys- teries, then this film is for you. 2 hrs./40 mins. long. Jackson and Goggin deliver strong performances with Golden Globe or Oscar con- sideration. Another Taran- tino’s Oscar nomination masterpiece (Django, Pulp Fiction). Made $52M. (Budget $44M). Must-see! Five stars!
