One reviewer called it "evil". Not sure what she meant. Doubt I'll ever find out.

Evil is not exactly what I look for in a movie. I think I'll pass.
Add that I really don't like Tarantino films in general...

  At first, Tarantino seems intent on creating *murderous characters and thrilling plots* that are not so much "dirty" or "indecent" as they are "stripped clean" (as in acid-bath clean, down to the white of the bone) of all decency. So that he might gain access to the fountainhead of our worst fears and most loathsome instincts, I suppose. But really, I feel that Tarantino is even more interested in stoking the fires of his own hatred toward a few chosen types (fascist types, redneck bullies, bigots, cold-hearted, etc...) than he is in telling a good story with picture and sound. He should be paying us an admission fee.
  So that, one keeps on wishing that Tarantino would take a cue or two from Alfred Hitchcock. The shower scene in "Psycho", for all of its "realism", is an oblique statement. Or again (in the final scene of that same movie), all that Hitchcock needs to completely horrify us is the resonant sound of chainlink on pulley.

You must not have seen Django Unchained. That's evil, too.
