Long, but worthwhile

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 1998)

Not being much of a fan of Tarantino, I really wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. It's long, no question, but it is a very clever story, skilfully acted, and with enough interesting twists to make it a movie worth seeing. The cast was excellent, with performances delivered brilliantly. The much talked about dialogue, sharp and smart. I will admit 'though that for the first 10 minutes or so I thought the movie was set in the '70s! In all, a fairly classy and intelligent movie, a bit gritty, and definitely worth a look.
