Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained (D+) just isn’t funny or insightful enough to get away with tackling American slavery. It’s difficult to juxtapose the brutality of heatboxes and lynchings with Quentin’s quips. Christopher Waltz is awesome, Jamie Foxx is wasted as a silent type and Leonardo DiCaprio misfires a bit as the three primary players in this revisionist Western. Everything that worked in Inglorious Basterds doesn’t really resonate this time around in this mileu, and the final hour devolves into tedium beyond belief.
