- DJANGO UNCHAINED is even longer and more sprawling but with a much simpler story and themes. It doesn't quite fit. The movie has long, flabby stretches that scream for the cutting-room floor, while the bursts of violence often feel outsized and misplaced. But occasionally the movie unexpectedly slips into brilliance.

Writer-director Quentin Tarantino has made one of 2012's best movies with Django Unchained, a weird, wild, and violent crowd-pleaser that serves as a raucous salute to the spaghetti western.
Set in the antebellum South, the story follows a slave named Django (Jamie Foxx) who is taken under the wing of Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German bounty hunter out to get the vicious Brittle brothers. Django can identify these outlaws for Schultz, and soon the duo become bounty hunting partners. Django and Schultz then set out to rescue Django's wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from the infamous plantation Candyland, run by the urbane, but malevolent Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Bloody mayhem ensues.
The episodic plot directly nods to the Germanic hero Siegfried's epic quest to rescue Brünnhilde, a saga which Schultz relates to Django at one point. And like any good myth, Django Unchained sees our hero encounter numerous strange and violent beings along the way, characters brought to life by Tarantino's latest eclectic ensemble.
Quentin Tarantino doesn't shy away from the horrors of slavery in Django Unchained even as he delivers a weird, wild, and bloody violent crowd-pleaser in this raucous salute to the spaghetti western.
