A piece of America

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2014)

This movie is a masterpiece on every level.
All the references to McDonalds, the cereal that was discontinued, which Quentin has saved and put into the movie. It is all a piece of American culture. And coming from a guy from Europe, I simply love all that brand stuff.
Following criminals in their daily lives, hearing their dialog - is wonderful and it makes for a lot of wit. It is bizarre contrast between murder and funny discussions.
The acting. Well I think John Travolta was bad, even tho he got critical acclaim. But Samuel give the performance of his life.
The drugs. I like that this movie didn't focus on sex. It feels so cheap. Instead, it depicts a housewife's cocaine use. Classy scenes of injecting top grade heroin. It is all very stylish and really makes the movie sexy, it didn't feel like a cheap trick.
It is morbid humor, appealing to all of us mainstream moviegoers, as well as for respected critics.
