The ORB's take: The movie is carried by Brad Pitt's performance and Tarantino's dialog.

Movie Review:
This film has all the elements that a "Tarantino" would have - lengthy dialog, great acting, and unnecessary gore. This movie is about a fictional plot to take down Hitler and his advisers. A group of American soldiers called The Basterds want to carry out a plot to kill Hitler and as many of this followers as they can. There is also another story that takes place in this film (something that this director does a lot in his movies) that involves a Jewish girl that owns a movie theater that somehow gets a bunch of Nazi's to hold a premiere at her establishment which leads to a plot to kill them all. Both story lines are intriguing and keeps your interest throughout the film, but I will warn you that there is a ton of dialog and at times seems very unnecessary. This film is definitely worth a rental, and if you like "Brad Pitt" or "Tarantino" this flick is a must see.
