“We all know the way things are right now—budgets are tight,” Steve Westbrook, the executive director of the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas, says. “It’s definitely a valuable asset to law enforcement, for purchasing equipment and getting things you normally wouldn’t be able to get to fight crime.” Many officers contend that their departments would collapse if the practice were too heavily regulated, and that a valuable public-safety measure would be lost.

It didn’t pick up really until the second act. It was good; I dug it, but even in freedom I thought that Django had been infantilized and thus was not a “free man” until after the last firefight and even then, he was still very much an adolescent. This may have been intentional; I dunno.

Good Movie marred by what may have been intentional choices by the director.
