i'd give it a recommendation. it is long, but its entertaining. it DID remind me quite a bit of tarantino, with sequences formatted and delivered to explain a bit about each character. for instance, a lot of the sequences would say "four" or "five" and so forth, and then we would learn about the characters and their backstories from rooms 4 & 5. a final word: though it is entertaining, i inevitably these days find myself putting movies into two categories: those i would buy for the home collection, and those i wouldnt. this one, though entertaining, falls into the latter.
