A film to be remembered

Rating: Null/10 (23 September 2005)

We've got a few stories that make up this film; a pair of diner bandits who attempt to rob a coffee shop, a boxer who gets on the wrong side of a crime boss, two gangsters who get into some bother after an errand, and a gangsters wife who seriously needs looking after.
Sounds bizarre, but it turns out to be great! The different stories cleverly link together to make up a bigger story, and eventually everything makes sense. You've got John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson as the two henchmen of big crime boss Marcellus Wallace, who are ordered to retrieve a mysterious briefcase from a gang of layabouts, but end up in a 'messy' situation on the way back. Uma Thurman is good as Marcellus's pretty, but drugged up wife who likes to dance, the excellent Tim Roth is one of the bandits who is intent on retiring from crime after one last job. Then you've got Bruce Willis as the boxer, who spends more time looking for his watch more than anything else. Added to this you've got excellent supporting roles from Harvey Keitel as the man who solves problems, and Christopher Walken who hides things in strange places.
All in all though, this film entertained me, and contains some rather bizarre scenes that you won't forget.
