"a thousand roles to play, until you play your life away"

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2000)

A near screen version of the pophit "Street Life", this movie is pure tragedy that is disclosed astonishingly in the last shot. Brilliant. Jackie must realize that the game of love is not won by tricks and traps. She forever lost the only game that came to mean so much for her.
By using the old genius, Bobby Womack's great hit "Across 110th Street", Tarantino shows a woman of a certain toughness that means she will never contain tenderness and emotion. This is her tragedy. But she is she - an every day person, a woman getting along by herself in a man's world - no better, no worse.
The "title" song has many symbolic rings: Life at 110 mph, living life 110%. At this level the soul just doesn't keep up.
