• Para él, los nazis no son más que tropos cinematográficos disponibles: monstruos articulados con talento para el sadismo. Al hacer que los estadounidenses también sean crueles, escapa a la habitual división entre el bien y el mal según las fronteras nacionales, pero también escapa a cualquier sentido de responsabilidad moral. En una guerra de Tarantino, todos cometen atrocidades. Como todo el trabajo del director después de "Jackie Brown", la película es pura sensación. Está desconectada de los sentimientos, y una inquietante opacidad -demasiado superficial para llamarla nihilismo- socava incluso las mejores escenas.
