Tarantino's best.

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 1999)

For me, the qualities that make Quentin Tarantino such an obnoxious personality in interviews are exactly what make him such an enjoyable filmmaker... his highly-affected "funkiness" and his cock-sure self-confidence. "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" were thrill rides that rode on these traits, but this under-appreciated film digs in much deeper, with equal success. Beautifully written and acted characters in a rumination on past glories and uncertain futures. How often do you see that come out of Hollywood?
