It is the first year of Germany's occupation of France. Allied officer Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) 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.

Audience Reviews for Inglourious Basterds

  • Nov 24, 2017
    The movie is a bloody and brutal movie but for me had no satisfaction in its climax which I felt wasted my time.
    Super Reviewer

    Whilst I've yet to see "The Hateful Eight" I am happy to say that for me this is the best QT film to date. This is a brilliantly staged and devilishly nuanced film, with a terriffc story, characters, soundtrack, script, and performances. If you've only seen it once, you really haven't seen it at all.
    Super Reviewer

    Well-crafted, but in typical Tarantino fashion, distancing, and un-relatable. No characters to root for or against and nothing to embrace. Rating: 53
    Bradley J Super Reviewer

    Complete crap from that juvenile jackass hack, Tarantino, who couldn't even come up with an original title for his personal agenda John Landis style vanity-fest of revisionist history and ethnic hate.
