Great Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 1998)

I loved this movie, but then I loved everything else Tarentino has had his hands in. I loved True Romance and Natural Born Kilers, especially the courtroom scene, which was all his. This movie is not typical Tarantino because it was based on a book not written by Tarantino. It was based on a book by Elmore Leonard orginally called Rum Punch. Elmore Leonard is another master of the dialogue, and he should be credited for much of the story and dialogue. The movie dragged because it was a copy of the book, only missing a few scenes. I loved the way the movie was done, and it was fabulous. I love Elmore Leonard and Tarantino. The dialogue between the two was almost perfect. However, I think that Tarantino fans of his first two films should not see this expecting the same type of fare. This is Leonard-land, and it is a glorious place.
