Pulp Fiction

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2006)

Pulp Fiction isn't your typical run and gun action film because it adds such detail in to the characters that you don't get in other mobster movies. The relationship between Vincent and Jules is particularly interesting in the way they both are of the same profession and can view events, like the shooting in the kid's apartment, completely different. Also the movie doesn't focus on just on aspect the whole film. I believe that the director realized that a typical mobster movie wasn't going to draw attention so he took a different approach. This concept of multiple stories is revolutionary expetionally in an action film, this is why the movie received much acclaim and why people liked the film so much. The aspect of the film that I liked the most was how you were still able to get an emotional response to a mobster movie, instead of just watching Pulp Fiction for just entertainment, you walked away from the movie feeling different, like you have accoplished something. One of my biggest critiques of the film is, Butch, played by Bruce Willis. You would expect an exceptional performance from Bruce, but I was let down by his menial acting in the movie. In all I liked how the movie flows and it didn't feel like just a waste of time.
