Typical Tarantino

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 1999)

An excellent twist of hip, funny stories, Pulp Fiction casts a lot of Tarantino's favourite actors-Samuel L Jackson(True Romance, Jackie Brown), Tim Roth(Resevoir Dogs), Harvey Keitel(From Dusk Till Dawn, Resevoir Dogs), Steve Buscemi(Desperado, Resevoir Dogs) and even Tarantino himself. John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames are also in on the action. This film is excellent in many ways. The dialogue is snappy and sharp, the acting is brilliant and the story is so clever.
Basically, the whole story is based around a crime boss(Rhames) and his mysterious brief case. We start off the film with Mr Roth and his partner robbing a diner, and from that moment on, the audience can sit back and stare in amazement at the talent shown on screen.
All the stars give a career best. There are superb confrontations between the actors-Mr Rhames and Mr Willis, Mr Jackson and Mr Roth, Mr Willis and Mr Travolta, Mr Travolta and Ms.Thurman, Mr Keitel and Mr Tarantino and Mr Jackson and Mr Travolta. It leaves the audience wondering who knows who and for what reason. Its the exact intelligence that made Jackie Brown so tremendous. Rating=5/5
