Not for the amateurs.

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 1999)

If you're one of those whose idea of great cinema is happy people in happy cities with happy endings, Pulp Fiction is not for you. For the cinema "buff" who will appreciate something different and not be threatened by something out of the mainstream watch Pulp Fiction. Nearly 80% of independent films have an element of Pulp Fiction in them. Be it the dialogue dealing with pop culture, in your face violent scenes or the new film noir look which Tarantino invented. One can appreciate this film for many reasons. For one, Tarantino does not treat the audience like total idiots much the way most directors do. He will let us judge things on our own and more importantly he does not attempt to save the world. Every scene was skillfully thought out and perfected. If his style offends you then perhaps you can rent "The Sound of Music" or "Pretty Woman" and get your spirits up again!
