Tarantino not being Tarantino !!!!

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2014)

This undeniably has a look and feel that is different from all other Tarantino films. He avoids the flashiness and and his signature over the top bravura to present us with a very mature, low key film that expertly engages us and still has all the entertainment value that all his other films boast of. Although this is again a story that deals with crime and criminal activities, but there is surprisingly very little violence and blood shed throughout the film. The script is tight with very subtle scenes involving very provocative dialogues. Characters look much more believable and realistic than Tarantino's other films and the acting is top class. Pam Grier and Robert Forster deserve a special mention. The screenplay like Pulp Fiction is at times non linear and very intricate. All the different characters play significant roles leading up to a satisfying climax.
I really was impressed by this film and I now know how mature and versatile Tarantino can be when he wants to. For me, this is Tarantino's 3rd best film after Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
