    ★★★½

    All the makings of an explosive classic that deserves far more than the usual Tarantino comparisons. Understood the deliberate cartoonish portrayal of the villains, but could have used a bit more depth there and a bit better pacing. All and all a deeply gratifying, powerful and impressive film.

    ★★★★★

    Masterpiece that gets funnier with every watch and transcends satire to become more entertaining than anything in the usual "comedy/action/thriller" genre that takes itself too seriously. Sacré Hubert, toujours le mot puor rire.

    The pig was indisputably the best actor and most relatable character in this 92-minute mess. Sad.
