    Django Unchained (2012) Review: Tarantino's Furious Western

    Django Unchained is Quentin Tarantino's blood-soaked revenge western about a freed slave and a bounty hunter: provocative, wildly entertaining and superbly acted.

    Yes. It is a thrilling, funny and genuinely angry western for adult viewers who can handle extreme violence and deliberately provocative treatment of slavery.
