Entertaining but it's pointless fluff

Rating: 6/10 (24 April 2006)

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME VERY MILD SPOILERS
Pulp Fiction is an interesting movie which is funny, entertaining, contains some great lines and good performances by its actors. Now if I can only figure out what the hell the point of it is!
Samuel L. Jackson is phenomenal, it's worth watching this movie just to see him as a bible-thumping eccentric criminal. John Travolta is great in a supporting role. Bruce Willis is also in this movie, although I've yet to figure out what exactly he's doing there.
The movie begins with a scene of a guy and gal who decide to rob a cafÃ©, the movie's ending is the continuation (and culmination) of that scene. To me, that was the only cohesiveness in a movie that essentially has no plot or cohesive storyline. All the stuff in between is just a collection of scenes about drugs, violence, partying and some more violence.
I'm the type of guy who enjoys deep movies, and movies with hidden messages and the like, but I've yet to figure out what the point of this movie is. It seemed like the general theme of it is "what goes around comes around", but that still does not explain all the bizarre occurrences and interactions contained therein.
Maybe there wasn't supposed to be a point to this movie. Maybe it's just for our transient amusement. Or perhaps it amuses the filmmaker that so many people are trying to find a point to a pointless movie. Either way, it's still worth watching. It has some not-to-miss scenes and dialouges. Rent it, don't buy it.
