Judging this film by its porno-movie cover one immediately knows this is going to be a controversial film, and the brilliant, just-the-right-amount-of-twisted mind of Quentin Tarantino does not disappoint.
The basic plot revolves around 2 mob hit men played by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta, a gang leaders wife by Uma Thurman and a Boxer by Bruce Willis, spiritual transformation, loyalty, drugs and Quarter Pounders. We also have Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth and Quentin Tarantino playing minor roles.
The storyline of this movie is quite unique, it is in fact more like several movies rolled into one epic than a single movie. It is shot in a non-linear sequence, and is neatly demystified at the end.
The plot albeit good, is nothing without the strong dialogue and brilliant performances by the cast.
This is the most "Tarantino" movie you will find, the dialogue is humorous and down to earth, nobody captures the essence of dialogue quite like Tarantino.
It is a movie that has everything, yet is like no movie you'd have ever seen before.
Quite simply the epitomeof film noir.
Tarantinos masterpiece gets a 9.5/10
Loved this movie, better than Reservoir Dogs. Cool review!
ReplyDeleteIve seen res dogs, inglorious, true romance but i think thats it from tarantino. need to see this. thanks for post.
ReplyDeleteThe dialogue and screenplay is just so perfect, the pointless banter the characters engage in builds up so much development in the movie.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the porno cover lol. Back when I was little and we'd go to the rental store, I'd see this film and wonder why it wasn't in the 18+ section.
ReplyDeleteThe ability of Tarentino to capture the mundane of interpersonal relationships and create exciting, in-depth, characer studies is remarkable in this movie, only seconded by Reservoir Dogs in the iconic diner scene. This is easily one of my favorite movies of all time
ReplyDeleteGood post

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic movie. It's my favourite of all time. I've seen it at least 15 times, which is pretty good for someone that generally only watches a movie once or twice.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog btw. :)
Pulp Fiction .. man this movie is in my TOP10 !!
ReplyDelete"Several movies rolled into one" is right. I watched this movie when I was too young and didn't understand what was going on at all. "Didn't I just see that guy die?" lol
ReplyDeleteI have always been a huge Tarentino fan, this post reminded me of one of his classics!
