Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2013)

Puip Fiction is easily one of the greatest films ever made and a flawless unforgettable masterpiece of cinema and filmmaking. Filled with excellent direction,great performances from the cast,a perfect well-written screenplay and an amazing soundtrack,Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite films and is Quentin Tarantino's greatest film and a masterpiece.
Set in Los Angeles,California,Pulp Fiction tells three interconnected tales set in the crime world that involve two Hit-men Vincent Vega(John Travolta)and Jules Winnfield(Samuel L. Jackson),Mia Wallace,(Uma Thurman),a Gangster's wife and aging boxer Butch Coolidge(Bruce Willis)and all four have to deal with violence,death and redemption.
Pulp Fiction is without a doubt one of the greatest films ever made a flawless and unforgettable film that is an instant masterpiece and classic from the very moment that you watch. Pulp Fiction is great film because while the film is in the genre of Crime Drama,it's a little more than that because it's a film that mixes categories. It's an epic and violent Crime Drama,a stylized Gangster Film,a Film-Noir,a surreal Black Comedy,a tale of revenge,redemption and fate,an homage and tribute to movies that came before it. Quentin Tarantino takes elements of those genre that I mentioned above and turns them on their heads giving viewers a film that is original,imaginative and unconventional and doesn't play by the rules and that is one of the things I love about the film. Pulp Fiction changed the way I looked at films because before I saw PF movies had plots and stories that moved from A to B but PF was the first film I saw that was told in a unconventional structure that tells the story in a back and forth fashion like chapters in book or a novel. What I love about each of the three stories(Vincent Vega And Marcellus Wallace's Wife,The Gold Watch and The Bonnie Situation)in the film is how wild and unpredictable they all are and how in some ways oddly enough each story is a morality tale with a dark and funny twist. Each story has a wild spin on violence,drugs and sex and the things that happen in all of the stories will disturb but at the same time you are riveted and glued to the screen. The four main characters in the movie Pulp Fiction,Vincent,Jules,Mia and Butch are among the best characters Tarantino has ever conceived because each character is cool and with brilliance. Vincent and Jules are classic characters because despite being hit men are stylish characters with unique personalities who have hilarious conversations about Fast Food Joints,Hamburgers,foot massages and TV pilots and the dialog between the two is funny and memorable. Mia Wallace is one of the few female characters in the film but when she's on screen you never forget her because she is beautiful and charming and when watch Mia and her date with Vincent you can tell that she is flirting with Vincent and playing mind games because we don't know if Mia likes Vincent or if Vincent likes Mia and that's one of the mysteries of the film. Butch Coolidge is a great character because he's an antihero that is rooted in the spirit of Film Noir as a character who is caught in big circumstances that are beyond his control and he has to do what he has to do to survive and fight back. All four characters are amazing,powerful and iconic and help define the movie and after you see Pulp Fiction you will never forget any of them as long as you live. The screenplay by Tarantino(which won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay)is brilliant and perfect with Tarantino each of the main characters great dialog that is fresh and original with a lot of funny black humor that is smart and creative. The violence in the film is brutal and shocking but at the same time funny and morbid and matches surreal over the top tone of the film. The ending of the film is powerful and captivating because while it is intense it's also calm and collective and makes you think. A wonderful ending.
The whole cast is perfect. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson are excellent and brilliant as Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield,two cool hit-men. Tavolta and Jackson are great together. Uma Thurman is wonderful as Mia Wallace,Marcellus' wife and has great chemistry with Travolta. Bruce Willis is fantastic as Butch,a tough boxer with an honor code and moral ambiguity. Harvey Keitel is great and cool as Winston Wolf,a man who solves problems. Ving Rhames is great and intimidating as Marcellus Wallace,a local crime boss. Tim Roth(Pumpkin)and Amanda Plummer(Honey Bunny)are wonderful and funny as boyfriend/girlfriend robbers. Eric Stolz and Rosanna Arquette are fabulous as Lance,Vincent's friend and drug dealer and Jody,Lance's wife. Christopher Walken is great in his small role as Captain Koons,a soldier that visits Butch. Maria De Medeiros does a fine job as Fabianne,Butch's girlfriend.
The direction by Quentin Tarantino is excellent and wonderful with Tarantino always moving the camera with long tracking shots either straight forward or with hand held photography and using close ups and slow camera movements giving the film a great style. Amazing direction by Tarantino.
The soundtrack is masterful and one of the best soundtracks in film history with songs by Dick Dale And The Del Tones(Misirlou),Kool & The Gang(Jungle Boogie),Al Green(Let's Stay Together),Chuck Berry(You Never Can Tell),Dusty Springfield(Son Of A Preacher Man),Neil Diamond,(Girl,You'll Be A Woman Soon),The Centurians(Bullwinkle Part II),Link Wray(Ace Of Spades,Rumble),The Lively Ones(Surf Rider),The Slater Brothers(Flowers On The Well),The Revels(Comanche)and more. Fantastic soundtrack.
In final word,if you love Quentin Tarantino,Crime Dramas or cinema in general,I highly suggest you see Pulp Fiction,an excellent and brilliant unforgettable masterpiece of cinema that you can watch again and again and deserves to be in every movie lover's collection. Highly Recommended. 10/10.
