Film: Inglourious Basterds
Synopsis: Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution.
Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich.
Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.

Critics: “Tarantino’s finest film since Pulp Fiction.” - Sky Movies
“Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino through and through as he mixes humour with his trademark spraying of violence and gore. Mix in with that witty dialogue and you have one of the best war movies in recent years.” - FemaleFirst
“This exploitation epic is a unique beast that molests history, wrong-foots expectations and royally entertains. The movies’ coolest Basterd is back on his game.” - Total Film.
