Low-key

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2004)

As a lower-key third film, this was always going to split critics. There's more genuine emotion in this film than in either of Tarantino's first two, but the dialogue is both as sharp and as gimmicky, and the directorial tics are in place (check out the shopping mall cash drop sequences). Also features some of his best ever characters, notably Bridget Fonda's Melanie and Robert De Niro's Louis.
