I didn't like it, not enough to recommend it. I like both Asian cinema and Tarantino but this was a bit annoying/boring. It wasn't over the top enough to be entertaining in the way it was trying to.. not enough shooting other people's bullets etc and wasn't good enough for the goofyness not to distract. For some reason it's way easier to put up with goofy stuff when it's subtitled.. one of the more off putting things about this was the use of spoken english. When the whore was doing that dance I actually got up and left the room to go do something which is unsual for me because I never violate the sanctity of the movie experience even if it's an average flick.
I was actually really looking forward to it as well.. The fall from expectations may be colouring my view.
