I love Joe R Lansdale's writing and this film definitely captures the soul and spirit of his work. I may be in the minority regarding my next statement but it's how I feel: it all starts on the page. Elliott Lester did a great job with this film but it would've never existed without the written words of Joe Lansdale. It was a passion project for Peter Dinklage and oh lord did he deliver. Yes it's a Western but it's also so much more than that. Juliette Lewis gives an Oscar-worthy performance as Cut Throat Bill. You have to be ready to step into the darkness. Tarantino definitely "borrowed" elements of Lansdale's writing style. Tons of bizarre violence and a lot of deep character study, delving into the minds of outlaws. Some hilarious dialogue from the warped mind of Lansdale. Great cinematography. Watch it on the big screen.
