Unrushed.

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2004)

What's very interesting was to see how Tarantino never rushes things. First he shows you how Jackie is very defensive; then there's a quiet table scene in Jackie's house where she voices out her fears and insecurities to Robert Forster. The scene with Beaumont Livingstone was staggeringly funny and amusing and it is used as a payoff and a reference point throughout the movie; and even in one of the final scenes ---- "she just gotta remember what happened to Beaumont".
Very interesting to see the relationship of Fonda and DeNiro develop; Fonda gets a little cynical and hostile towards DeNiro --- and in the parking lot scene, very good exposition or insight as to a possiblity of why DeNiro and Ordell got jailed. And its hilarious at that...
All the characters are very well fleshed out. I can't imagine anyone not liking this film just for the fact that its more talky than any of Quentin Tarantino's other movies...
Finally, I liked Ordell's reaction of denial once he learns what DeNiro did to Fonda in the parking lot... and once he DOES IT to DeNiro; we find out how Ordell REALLY felt about what DeNiro did to Fonda in the parking lot.
Once again; excellent characterization and portrayal of the 3-dimensionality of the players.
Grade A-
10/10
