An intelligently woven tale of crime life in a world that can 'Only exist in the Movies'

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2010)

Having triumphed with his Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino soon began work on his second feature film: Pulp Fiction. Set in a world that only Mr. Tarantino himself could imagine, Pulp Fiction tells the tale of small time organised crime. Beginning fantastically with the electric and meaty dialogue of Pumkin and Honeybunny, played be Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer, Pulp Fiction's opening Diner scene acts as a prelude to the crescendo that soon follows. The characters of both Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, played skillfully by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, soon become modern day cinema catalysts for the punchy and fast dialogue that inspired a generation of young filmmakers. Tarantino's masterpiece is concluded with standout performances from Uma Thurman and Harvey Keitel, ensuring that Pulp Fiction became one of the most significant films of the nineties if not of all time.
