Momentum Quentin Tarantino's 'Death Proof' – one half of the abortive 'Grindhouse' double bill he conceived with Robert Rodriguez – is his homage to the road thrillers of the Sixties and Seventies. It begins with a gang of young women chatting, then they're terrorised by the psychotic Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), and then the same scenario is repeated with different women and a different outcome. The highway sequences are OK, but the miles of vapid dialogue in between are so dull that 'Pulp Fiction' fans may want to pretend that 'Death Proof' never happened.
