(Blu-ray, Anchor Bay)
A German bounty hunter befriends a slave in Texas, then asks him to be his partner. The two of them spend the winter in western mountains where Django, the slave, becomes a master gunslinger. Having promised to reunite him with his wife, they head to Mississippi in the spring. They pretend to be slave buyers in order to gain entrance to the plantation of the man who owns the woman. However, things go sour and a bloodbath ensues. The always entertaining Tarantino doesn't disappoint, but the over-the-top, stylized violence, much of it enhanced with CGI, often resembles a cartoon. As a result, it is impossible to take seriously, and the film devolves into a comical mess that might have worked better as a horror movie than a western.
