Durango Unchained (2012)

'Durango Unchained', an action drama written and directed by Quintin Tarantino ('Kill Bill') and starring Jamie Foxx; Christoph Waltz; Kerry Washington; Leonardo De Caprio and Samuel L. Jackson, is a mesmerizing film! The classic traits of a Tarantino film are seen throughout such as exploding gun shot wounds and shoot outs as well as car chases- however, in this film there are horse chases.
The synopsis of the film simply entails the story of an African American slave (Foxx) that is rescued and employed by a German bounty hunter (Waltz), Dr. Shaltz, to help him track and kill various men who are wanted by the government. The drama builds slowly until, in the film, the two reach the cotton plantation where Django's wife, Braun Hilder (Washington), who works on the plantation as a house slave who's only job is to keep men 'company'.
The two bounty hunters come to an agreement that if Django helps Shaltz capture and kill three wanted men who work for the owner of another plantation, Shaltz will help rescue Braun Hilder. The plan is carried out, and when came the time of Shaltz's end of the bargain, things go wrong and a trandional "Mexican shoot out" takes place between the two bounty hunters, the owner of the plantation- Calvin Candy (De Caprio)- and his henchmen, as well as Steven (Jackson), Candie's colored butler.
The SFX used in the film is amazing and very well cut together in terms of post production, and what increases the production value is the use of well known soundtracks such as the 'Trinity is My Name' theme from the 1975 film. Performances from all cast members are exquisite which makes it difficult for the audience to look away from the screen, in fear of missing out on a small piece of the action packed scenes.

In the conclusion of the film, Shaltz; Candy and his henchmen; and Steven all die, and the film ends happily as man and wife are reunited and ride off, not into the sunset but into the moonlight as Candy's house is blown to kingdom come by previously placed and lit dynamite.

I recomend this film to anyone who enjoys dramatic and action packed films!
