A Cultie Done Good - Tarantino's Masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2019)

A fun and sordid glimpse on the lives of gangsters, druggies and low life's with some cool tunes to punctuate them, "Pulp Fiction" is the bullet-riddled diner and tattered paperback of filmdom. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson lead the rabid pack as goons for hire who go through their share of thrills and mishaps in the City of Angels. The former is a bloated smoothie with bad hair; the other a religious zealot with an outdated afro. Together they argue, murder and laugh their way through gunshots, blood and assorted brain matter. The star-studded cast bring various interpretations to this tacky and tasty dish and they all shine. Some of the scenes are forever etched in film and the movie going public's memory - the dance scene at the diner, the S & M scene, and the bible quoting are among the most memorable in movie history. Being a Tarantino flick it's naturally light years from flawless: long, slow, wordy and what have you. After the flubs of "Reservoir Dogs" you'd figure Tarantino would finally get editing right or hire a damn editor but no matter. The best and most successful cult flick made, this is a "Royale with cheese" indeed.
