Pulp for thought

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 1999)

I like some things about this film-in particular the career revival of John Travolta. That was good. He needed this. And Bruce Willis was fun too, as the boxer. But we could have done without the Deliverance stuff in the pawn shop, and I think the shootings were rather gratuitous too. The characters spent a lotta time talking about McDonalds in Paris and what, the Brady Bunch? Pop culture references, which suddenly became the rage in Hollywood, which if not handled right will make you sick.
I give Tarentino credit for stealing from all the right places, and for putting the stuff together to make for an entertaining film, though it will make you wince or cringe or whatever at times. But it isn't exactly an Oscar caliber film to my thinking, if you want that, go check out Lonestar.
*** outta ****, not as bad as it could have been.
