Gets better and better, both by age and as the story progresses

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2011)

It's easy to dismiss this film as one of Tarantino's lesser popular films. But if you look closer, it's actually really good. This is a film that can't be compared to Tarantino's previous two movies, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. It features elements from both films, but is overall a more mature, straight-forward film. It's a character driven film, like any other Tarantino film, however it is slow, but in a good way. Nothing's rushed, we get a lot of time to study the different characters. The dialogue is witty and clever, just like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Then there's the realism, which is excellently portrayed. People act and talk like it was just a normal day, which makes it an absorbing experience, and will make you forget that the actors are actually acting, and that there's actually a film crew behind the scene.
Then there's the ensemble cast. All six of the main characters each have different point of views, watching them do what they do is simply fascinating. This is one of those films where the ensemble cast works really well. All of the characters have their part in the story, nobody is miscast. It features Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Michael Keaton, Bridget Fonda and Robert De Niro. Robert De Niro is very amusing, his performance is the best (out of all the great performances in the film). It's fun to watch him in this film just for validating the fact that he doesn't always get type-casted. Pam Grier and Robert Forster are excellent as well, and Samuel L. Jackson nails his role, which is somewhat identical to his character in Pulp Fiction, though that's not a bad thing.
This is another must-see Tarantino film - Moose finds this film worthy of a 10.
