Very cool and slick characters

Rating: Null/10 (12 September 2002)

This movie is awesome. Too many people have judged it by comparing it to Tarantino's other films, Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and that's a shame. I saw this before I saw Pulp Fiction and thought it was better. All of the characters are well scripted and you really get to know them. Robert De Niro plays a different character than we're used to seeing him and does a great job with it. Samuel L. Jackson's character is as cool and bad@$$ as Jules was in Pulp Fiction, maybe more so. Yes this movie is a tad bit long, but that's called character development people. It's also less violent than Tarantino's other films. While I haven't said any plot details in this review, I feel no need to. All you need to know is the characters are great and the music is excellent as well. That's not saying the plot is boring or awful, you'll just have to see for yourself. The DVD of this film is wonderful as well, with a trivia track (which in my opinion, are more entertaining than commentaries), interviews, documentaries, trailers for old Pam Grier films (which have to be seen to be believed) and my personal favorite- The complete Chicks who love guns video! They really took their time on this one. So if you want to watch a cool crime movie I suggest Jackie Brown.
