'Death Proof' (2007) directed by Quentin Tarantino

The great thing about Tarantino is that he knows what his audience wants and he delivers it. I really enjoyed this film, the concept is great, it builds the tension nicely, there are some great car chase sequences but most of all there is lots of interesting dialogue. The main thing I liked in this were all the little references to other Tarantino films. It gives the movie a sense of place, as though it exists within the same framework of Tarantino's world. It's little touches like this that really interested me. Plus it's the way the director plays with genre. The big thing I noticed was that he knows all of the rules of the genre which means that he also knows when to break them, making for a very different kind of film.
