It is the first year of Germany's occupation of France. Allied officer Lt. Aldo Raine assembles a team of Jewish soldiers to commit violent acts of retribution against the Nazis, including the taking of their scalps. He and his men join forces with Bridget von Hammersmark, a German actress and undercover agent, to bring down the leaders of the Third Reich. Their fates converge with theater owner Shosanna Dreyfus, who seeks to avenge the Nazis' execution of her family.

Critics Consensus

A classic Tarantino genre-blending thrill ride, Inglourious Basterds is violent, unrestrained, and thoroughly entertaining.

It wasn't satisfying... Perhaps I'll change my mind. Perhaps I won't. But today I'll simply say that I thought it was inglorious indeed.

4/4

When Tarantino sent this message to moviegoers in 2009, it's unlikely that he imagined how relevant it would be in 2019.

The performance of Christoph Waltz, playing the Nazi Gestapo figure Col. Hans Landa, is the highlight of the film. His ability to convey courtliness and sympathy and then go to commit the cruelest of horrors is simply superb.

“Inglourious Basterds” cemented itself into not only an important project in Tarantino’s filmography but also into the mythmaking of his presence in contemporary American filmmaking as a whole.

If you’re a fan of Inglourious Basterds, then this Arrow Video’s special edition is worth the double-dip (assuming you already own the movie).

It is his first film where the bad, underwhelming points outweigh the good – and his first that cannot be recommended easily.

A winning cast filled with the likes of Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz was far better than audiences ever could have imagined in the faux historical Action Adventure Drama

This movie is not what you think. Coming from the director, you might think it's going to be all violence â" guns and explosionsâ¦well, it's not. The film is actually an artistic work filled with messages, humor, love, and some top notch acting. The characters in the movie are superb, there are a lot but each one is unique, making them actually interesting and important to the story. The story is awesome. I can't stress that enough; I have never seen anything else related or trying to relate to this movie; it makes it even more special. Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of action in the movie and that's okay. Instead, it's filled with dialogue heavy, intense, and very interesting conversations between characters both friend and foe. And those scenes were freaking awesome. This is a two and half hour movie and my dad and I watched it in one sitting because it was that engaging. There were parts that I never expect and when that happened we were like "holy shit". This is definitely a must see even if you don't like the director or care for the run-time.

A subtly well tied up plot, twist ending, crazy characters, epic violence and iconic scenes to remember forever. Probably he best Tarantino in my mind, and one of the best movies ever made.

Inglorious Bastards isn't Tarantino's best flick, not by a long shot. However, What inglorious bastards does have, are some of the best directed scenes in film history (Farm House, Pastry scene, Basement standoff) and one of the best villain performances to date.
