Jason Leigh) encounter an- other bounty hunter (Samuel Jackson) and a man (Walton Goggins) who claims to be the new sheriff of Red Rock.

That’s when Taran- tino’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).
