Caveat Disney-goer... take the good with the bad, eh?

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 1999)

Personally, I have to say that I find this to be one of the most enthralling films I've ever seen. Let me warn any readers now, that some of the reviews you find for this film give it an utter pan. Well, everyone is entitled to an opinion, I suppose.
Some decry its obsessive use of profanity -- ever walk down a city street and NOT hear that much cussing? Some bemoan the excessive amount of death and violence and general "no way, that's just not real, could never happen" shenanigans -- they live in pretty neighborhoods, not backstreet *anywhere*.
This movie is the treasure it is because of the incredible level of true grime and underbelly it shows in its treatment of the New Gangster. Fair warning! It's not a pretty sight! This movie is for the same person that enjoys the speeding bullet, car-wrecking, general riot and havoc type of film...
But that's not all! We also see the return of John Travolta, and the meteoric Samuel Jackson! We hear dialogues that are not about backstory. Because they aren't! They're *real* people, having *real* conversations. And that, my fellows, is one of the fabulous things. We get to go along for a ride with pushers and boxers and law-breakers and murderous rednecks. And that's just the first time you watch it.
Wow.
PS: This movie also falls under the "Inverse-Bruce" Rule: A lot of Bruce Willis is not so good, but a little Bruce is incredible.
PPS: Pulp Fiction: Where it's always 4:20 (unless it's Seven Twenty-Two in the A.M., of course...)
