Pulp Fiction really is a classic

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2008)

Pulp Fiction has really gotten me into Tarantino's works, and this is the perfect movie to showcase his talents. This is a small-time gangster story, set in LA, but pretty much subverts the traditional Goodfellas-esquire manner we are used to.
For starters, the characters are developed in a way which makes us care about their fates, with conversations over things like what a big-mac is called in Europe early on. John Travolta and SLJ have a wonderful rapport on screen, delivering lines wittily, and sharply. A good thing, as the film is driven by a clever and disarming script, so none of the 148 minutes run-time feels wasted.
The non-chronological narrative certainly helps to keep things fresh, and coupled with Tarantino's stylish use of cinematography, and trademark framing shots, making this film something very different to anything else on offer.
Overall, this film is Definitely worth your time and money, (and a second viewing to appreciate all the nuances that make it so special), and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Fantastic work.
