Review 517: Inglorious Basterds

In 1941, the first year of the German occupation of France Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lt. Aldo "The Apache" Raine (Brad Pitt) organises a group of Jewish American soldiers to perform swift, shocking acts of retribution.
Later known to their enemy as "the bastards", Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquis, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.

Christoph Waltz is easily the MVP of this film playing Nazi Colonel Hans Landa
