Tarantino's greatest film to date!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2005)

This film is more than merely a good motion picture, it's a pop-culture phenomenon.
Everyone remembers the characters, played flawlessly by the horrifyingly diverse cast, props especially to Samuel L. Jackson humorous yet chillingly effective role as the jerry-curled, Psalm spewing Jules and Tarantino himself as the paranoid Jimmie(Who will always be remembered for the excellent line "I don't need you to tell me how f**king good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SH*T. Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead n***er in my garage")
Most importantly, the film's dialog will be forever over-quoted, it ranges from factual("You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherf**kers. Motherf**kers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't") To comical("And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese? No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f**k a Quarter Pounder is. Then what do they call it? They call it a Royale with cheese. A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac? Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac. Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper? I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.") To the outright bizarre("The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any of the slopes were gonna get their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.") To the film's most famous line("The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.")
The cinematography is spot-on, for the trademark trunk camera angle to the continuous take sequence, it's breathtaking to watch.
The interconnected stories are well-written, but the pacing is a strain on the mind, if you want to watch this film without killing your own brain, get a hold of the Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates versions, the play the stories in order, thank God.
But the one thing that will most likely confuse viewers the most is the contents of the briefcase, the answer will likely never be revealed, I'm sure Tarantino intended for there NOT to be answer.
If you're looking to peer back into the tornado that is '90's pop-culture, give this a look, If you thought Kill Bill Vol. 1 is he best movie ever, watch this, it'll likely change your mind. Quinten Tarantino's Pulp Fiction receives a well-deserved ten blargs out of ten.
