If the plot is pure exploitation its execution is nothing less than exhilarating with unbelievable chase & crash sequences sandwiched between tamer moments that combine just the right amount of sleaze, cheese, and enough bitchiness to melt celluloid. As in "Planet Terror", Tarantino incorporates scratchy film stock and spliced jump cuts to give everything a low budget sheen but he spares no expense when it comes to highway mayhem with flipping cars, flying body parts, and one of cinema’s more harrowing games of road chicken featuring actress/stuntwoman Zoë Bell clinging to the hood of a speeding Dodge Challenger. The women are fierce, the music is hot, and Quentin throws in so many clever in-jokes using everything from magazines and billboards to license plates and posters that I lost count. And that final scene…! This is one “chick flick” you won’t be seeing on the Oprah Network.
