Rating:
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles - dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
Django andSchultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...

My favorite film of 2012. By far - hands down - epic - masterpiece. And I couldn't believe how goddamn funny it was - Tarantino is a master.

Outrageous, hilarious and offensive, this film is one of the best of the year. From the casting to music selection to the writing Tarantino once again proves he is one of the best in the business. Highly recommended.

By far Tarantino's most fun movie to date, Django Unchained is bloody, ballsy and outright hilarious. Everything from the outrageous soundtrack to the eclectic ensemble cast were chosen with pinpoint accuracy to make this the most enjoyable films of the year; and definitely one of it's best.
