Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2007)

This film is about three days in the lives of several shady characters. It is divided into four sub-stories, each focusing on one of four incidents that involve drugs, assassinations and divine intervention. The characters' lives interact at various points, mostly without one knowing that the other is also currently involved with a very important event.
Suffice to say that this comment could go on for days but to cut a long story short, what one needs to know before they watch this film is that it is probably the sickest, funniest black comedy of all time. A combination of impossible coincidences in the lives of a gangster (Rhames), his wife (Thurman), his lackeys (Travolta and Jackson), a paid-off boxer (Willis), a couple of petty thieves (Roth and Plummer), a drug-dealer (Stoltz) and a man who solves problems (Keitel).
The humour of this film is sublime. There is exaggeration at every single detail, whether it comes to picking up pieces of skull and brain or hick homosexual rapist policemen. There are drugs and/or drug references in almost every scene and that leads to several particular scenes of "high" artistic expression. Every single line is calculated and the characters of a movie have never been more alive, vibrant and decadently hilarious.
The film evolves rapidly, with each twist making the situation more and more bizarre and exaggerated. Included in this downhill of events is a strange suitcase that has been the topic of numerous internet forums in over a decade. Plainly put, this is a movie by a talented director at, what was for some, the peak of his creativity, with an extravagant cast that many would feel envious of, a captivating, ever-twisting storyline and incredible, macabre gangster humour. Definitely an epic, this film is probably a landmark that simply cannot be equaled by its creator or any of his contemporaries.
