Not a bad flick...

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2004)

I was intitially a little apprehensive at viewing this film. The reason being that I had previously viewed a Quentin Tarantino film, From Dusk Till Dawn, and was very disappointed. However, this film was very good. The writing was almost perfect (Tarantino deservedly received an Oscar for his screenplay). His direction was also very good and aided in the story line. However, I think the greatest asset to this film was Samuel L. Jackson's performance as a religious gangster Not only does he perfectly portray the stereotypical angry black gangster but he infuses dark comic undertones unseemlingly. John Travolta also gives a great performance as Jackson's moronic sidekick. With other good performances by Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, and Ving Rhames, this movie is definately a must see.
