Featurine ot time filled with Fe\ | an :n di ce balanc hav 111 only dialogue, “^lAvv c The Bride is back in “Kill Bill-Vol. II ” the conclusion to director Quentin Tarantino’s epic tribute to chop-socky Asian films “Kill Bill-Vol. II” is a dialogue-driven character piece that, when combined with “Kill Bill-Vol. I,” is possibly Tarantino’s finest creation yet. Picking up where the first film left off. audi ences are reintroduced to The Bride (Uma Thurman), an assassin seeking revenge for her family’s death. Driving a car down the highway. Thurman faces the camera and offers a brief run down of the plot thus far in a stylish black-and- white scene. The film then shifts focus to a full exploration into the wedding massacre that marked The Bride’s revenge-driven actions. Discovering she was pregnant, the as-of-yet unnamed assassin fled from her boss, the titular Bill. Escaping to El Paso, the assassin makes a new life for her self. Now at her wedding rehearsal. The Bride is fully pregnant with her child and working at a record store w ith her soon-to-be husband, when her former boss comes calling. David Carradine plays the enigmatic Bill, with a sinister intelli gence that hasn't been seen on the big screen with such power since Hannibal Lector. After the initial flashback, the film skips for ward to where the original left off. Stalking the remaining two assassins before moving in to kill Bill. The Bride has come to kill Budd. a former assassin-turned-club-bouncer. Any sympathy audiences feel for the pathetic lug is quickly replaced with outright horror when Budd man ages to knock The Bride unconscious. Unfortunately for her, Budd couldn't wait for her death and buries her alive. Tarantino’s handling of the scene is the biggest testament to his skill yet. He fills every scene with a feeling of claustrophobia and help lessness. While audiences know The Bride w ill find a way out, they have no idea how she will do it.
