One of the best of 97

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 1999)

A wonderfully done character study of five people dealing with ageing. The characters are all wonderfully human. Great acting especially from Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Forster.
Tarantino does less stylistic flourishes and comes up with something altogether different than Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. This is a very close adaptation of Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch.
I love how Tarantine sticks with long shots in his films it develops both characters and atmosphere. All in all an underrated Gem.
