One of the VERY best

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2001)

This film is violent and i can see how people can find it shocking, or whatever... But, I've been raised on TV/film violence (I'm 19) and don't care much.
So, anyway, this film is one of the best films I have seen, easily. Firstly, Tarantino wrote and directed. You can see that he has talent in abundance! Second, the cast is great. Even though these people are not the sort you are likely to favour in the real-world, there is only one character (Butch's wife) that i don't like. John Travolta shows that he is a good actor (contrary to some of the s**t he's done, and is literally ideal as Vincent. Samuel L. Jackson is particularly cool, the afro's a dream too! Ving Rhames, Harvey Keitell also stand out as the best of a very fine bunch. Christopher Walken is amazing. You only see him tell a five minute story, but in that time he earns himself 10 oscars worth! I can go on forever about the characters and cast, but i won't. The dialogue is the most entertaining i've ever heard in a film, a sheer pleaure to the ears. But the quality of the people will complement the words big-time. The soundtrack is also, yes, you guessed it... very, very good. It makes me like songs I would most probably never listen to. Jungle Boogie's my favourite. The other MAJOR asset of this movie is the non-linear story telling. Ontop of everything else, it makes this movie stand out as quite possibly the best movie of the 90s. It is everything about this film makes it so incredibly good, not to mention strikingly individual. The cast is a stellar gathering, the story is seriously entertaining, not to mention highly funny throughout the bulk. And the way in which it is told is intelligently captivating, the soundtrack is also a BIG bonus, complementing what you see magnificently. If a fairly seasoned film-watcher of my age does not like this film, he (or she) must have a more innocent, less demented mind than I! But I like films such as this, my other favourite is a real oddball- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I can't sing it's praises enough.
