Django Unchained

Rising Star Gets stronger in later rounds
2012 · Drama, Western · Quentin Tarantino

At 37% overall, Django Unchained looks like an underdog — but by the time it reaches a final, it outperforms. Tarantino's most crowd-pleasing film since Pulp Fiction, powered by Christoph Waltz and a revenge premise that practically sells itself. The runtime tests patience, but the payoff earns it back with interest.

Synopsis

With the help of a German bounty hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner.
