30-second review - Inglorious Basterds vs. Un prophète

Granted, the movies have nothing in common other than both being about 2h30mn long.  But while every single scene, every line of dialogue in Un prophète served to move the story forward and/or reveal a bit more about the characters, Basterds felt bloated and pointlessly long, rambling on without making much of a point.  Un prophète was tense and intense all the way through.  Basterds had its moments but never lived up its opening scene.

    oooh i loved the basterds!!! and i'm really not a fan of QT, usually, far from it. I just found that one wildly entertaining.
    agree on Un Prophète. Great film and above all, great actor.
