... inaccurate results. Brad Pitt spits and chews the scenery entertainingly as band leader AldoRaine, while Christoph Waltz should be a shoo-in in the forthcoming supporting actor nominations as the nastiest Nazi in town. So far, so fun, with Tarantino relishing the chance to blend brash humour and OTT violence in the episodic manner of Pulp Fiction . The problem is that since the glory...
... crafted frame. The story divides its time between several characters, including Brad Pitt’s Lt AldoRaine, the battle-scarred leader of the Basterds, who is on a mission behind enemy lines to claim as many Nazi scalps as possible, Melanie Laurent’s Shosanna Dreyfus, a Jewish cinema owner seeking revenge for the slaughter of her family, and Christoph Waltz’s scene-stealing Col Hans...

No matter what Lieutenant AldoRaine and Quentin Tarantino may have done for the war movie, World War II is still not hip with American moviegoers apparently. Joel Silver has spent 20 years trying to make a movie based on the DC Comics Sgt.
