The
film has become the go - to
punching bag for people wanting to disparage superhero movies for being too leaden and joyless, and for no good reason
other than the movie happens to be 100 percent leaden and joyless.
For my money, Jennifer Jason Leigh is, with due respect to her predecessors, the first truly great actress to have a major part in a Tarantino
film, and as eager as the
other characters are to use her as a
punching bag, she's more
than that; she's a skilled, tough player in this game of elimination who uses every card she holds (or can make the
other players think she holds).
