Even more gory and adolescent than its models, which explains both the fun and the unpleasantness of this globe-trotting romp.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

There is no ironic overlay in Tarantino's movies, no 'commenting' on the pop schlock he's replicating. He simply wants to remake in his own way the kinds of movies he's always loved, and he's about as uncynical as a movie geek can be.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

I would argue that, in a bizarre way, Mr. Tarantino empowers women as no action-genre director before him ever has.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

Simultaneously a spectacular act of movie-making and a slight movie.
