A Tarantino ripoff

Rating: 5/10 (6 September 2002)

This is, quite bluntly, a complete ripoff of Quentin Tarantino. The soundtrack, the dialog, the whole way this film is put together is simply a well made imitation of "Pulp Fiction", even to the point of having a "badass black dude with an afro" in it. The story's not bad, although to my eyes at any rate, there's simply too many characters. It gets to where it's impossible to keep track of them all. In contrast, "Pulp Fiction" had just the right amount of characters and plot complexity to engage your brain without making you feel like you had to keep rewinding the movie to figure out who was who and where each character fit into the plot. This movie, judged by it's own merits, would be fairly good, but when compared to PF, it's barely adequate.
5/10
PS Brit criminals may come off as scary and intimidating to, well, Brits, but my guess is most American criminals would take one look at Mr. "Hatchet" Harry, then laugh in his face before hosing him down with an AK-47. Brits just aren't very good at portraying really convincing tough guys.
