Rating: 7/10 (17 September 2014)

This film has many of today's big actors and actresses. Vincent Vega, who was played by John Travolta, and Jules Winnfield, played by Samuel L Jackson, are hit-men that are hired by the mobster Marsellus Wallace, played by Ving Rhames. However, after a shooting Jules Winnfield decides to remove himself from the gangster life. Shortly after Winnfield left the gangster life Vega is assigned my Wallace to take is wife out for the night to do whatever she wanted to do. The night ended at the Wallace house where Mia, played by Uma Thurman, overdosed on drugs.
Criminal activity, money, and drugs seems to be the theme of this film. At the film we see the gangsters, Winnfield and Vega killing three people in what looks to be an apartment, and throughout the rest of the film we see flashbacks of criminal activity involving the two gangsters. We see in several scenes where mobster Wallace hires different people to perform certain activities, we see the money be transferred from the hands of Wallace to each character performing, in most cases, illegal activity. Lastly, the drugs in Pulp Fiction are a constant in the film. We see several instances where Vega is doing a drug. We also see Mia Wallace overdose on drugs and almost lost her life.
This movie reminds me of the film The Way of the Gun made in 2000. The two films have a lot of criminal activity throughout the movie and it is all for one thing. The money. Characters in both films seem to be extremely greedy, and are willing to do just about anything, including killing people and kidnapping a young adult, to make a quick extra dollar.
Vincent Vega's flashbacks in the movie, I thought, really added to the movie. We can see the type of relationship Vega had with Jules Winnfield. To me the flashbacks show the greatness the team of Vega and Winnfield had. I thought Vega wasn't as great of a gangster as he looked to be when he was working with Winnfield before he left the business. I also felt the camera angles in this film could have been better. One scene that stuck out the most to me with the camera angles was with Butch Coolidge we only see him talking and the back of Marsellus Wallace's head. To me this scene was a bit boring because we the camera was only on Coolidge. In order to be more effective I think the camera should have gone back and forth between Coolidge and Wallace for the viewer to really feel interested in the scene.
