Though a lengthy film of three hours and seven minutes, "The Hateful Eight" is definitely worth the time if you enjoy Quentin Tarantino’s style as a producer and director. Similar to Tarantino’s last film produced in 2012, "Django Unchained," "The Hateful Eight" revolves around the task of bounty hunting. As criminals are listed to be captured dead or alive and turned in to the police in return for a cash reward, there is a constant battle between those that are interested in the money.

Divided into six chapters, the beginning of the film begins slowly. Introducing the setting and characters, chapters one and two present the relationships between two bounty hunters, Major Warren and John Ruth, criminal Daisy Domergue and Sherriff Chris Mannix. As these four individuals travel in the same carriage, racial tensions are revealed and there is a lack of trust between the sheriff and Major Warren. However, these four are forced to stay together in a cabin in order to take cover from the terrible conditions of a blizzard.

With another four interesting characters already settled in the cabin, the film then presents a total of eight individuals, as the title of the film implies: "The Hateful Eight." From heated discussions to disturbing stories, arguments, accusations and killing, "The Hateful Eight" reaches its ultimate climax throughout chapters three and four.

Amidst all the madness, the voice of the narrator enters the script and reveals everything in chapter five and the final chapter. As UC Davis student Stephanie Osuna-Hernandez comments, “'The Hateful Eight' has a twisted story […] that will keep you on your toes till the end of the film.”

Even though there are only eight characters and one setting that are the primary focus of the entire three-hour film, "The Hateful Eight" is filled with an extremity of violence, mystery, racism, crime, family, love, comedy and action.
