Picking up exactly where Vol. 1 left off, The Bride (Uma Thurman) continues her violent quest for revenge as she tracks down and dispatches two remaining colleagues (Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen) before her final showdown with Bill (David Carradine). This time they're ready for her, but The Bride will not go down without a fight.
Fans of Quentin Tarantino are in for a surprise with this installment. Vol. 2 has more story (mostly told in flashbacks) and character development, but less action than Vol. 1. For those expecting to see excessive blood and gore will be disappointed, but there are a few swordfights (one of them followed by a graphic eye-gouging scene). Carradine's performance as Bill is his best bad-guy role since "Lone Wolf McQuade." My evaluation: *** out of ****.
