In World War II, an elite platoon is formed, made up of Jewish soldiers, known to their enemies as "The Basterds". Led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt), and joined by undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Kruger), they intend to get retribution for the Third Reich's crimes... and to take down its leaders, in the most violent ways possible.




Like most of Tarantino's works, this is a cinematical-reference-pa-looza, and whilst, yes, this is doing the War Movie, a fair few other genres also get the nod (among other things, appreciators of German Avant-garde cinema of the 1930s may get a few nice surprises). But for those who haven't been spending their time dedicated to appreciating cinematical rarities, there is still a strong narrative being told here, combining violence and retribution with a very personal idiosyncratic flavour, and you can definitely appreciate it on that level.
