shareKill Bill & Faster are both largely influenced by the Spaghetti-Western Classic "Death Rides a Horse" staring Lee Van Cleef. They could be considered re-tellings or re-imaginings of it.
If you've never scene Death Rides A Horse, it's currently on Netflix Streaming in Widescreen. It's a great film and if you're a fan of KB and Faster you should seriously check it out.
Kill Bill had several sources of inspiration; Lady Snowblood and The Bride wore black are two more of them.
shareThis was a remake/cross over between Face/Off and Batman Begins.
shareThis movie reminded me of a lot of other movies, except Faster was not as well done as any of them.
The assassin guy reminded me of Jude Law's character in Road To Perdition, except crappier and pointless.
The Revenge plot reminded me of Kill Bill, especially when the big dude's son told the protagonist he was going to get revenge in the future. I'm okay with that though since the revenge plot is nothing new and they did a decent job with it.
The whole, "Driver in a heist gets caught up in something he never should have been involved in" reminded me of Drive. I'm aware they came out around the same time so there was obviously no imitation here.
I didn't think of it myself, but some people mentioned the similarity to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
I guess the big problem is that all of the aforementioned movies are amazing, whereas Faster is just average.
I enjoyed Faster for the popcorn action movie it was and I appreciate their attempt at making it deep, though I can't say they did it well. It didn't help that the twist at the end was obvious less than halfway through the movie.

Thought exactly the same, 90% Kill Bill but without Tarantino's stylised vision and a few story point tweaks.
shareNo. Only the storyline was a mediocre carbon-copy of Kill Bill; certainly not the "atmosphere", "storytelling" or production value.
