Tarantino's violent gangster epic

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2006)

The movie that shot QT to the top, Pulp Fiction is a no-holds barred slug fest that leaves the viewer with a bad taste in their mouth. Watching it for the first time a couple of years ago i was shocked to see how violent Hollywood movies can get, ever since then i've been desensitized to all slash and gash movies.
After making his debut with Reservoir Dogs which received average reviews, QT hit back with the "Pulp", with an eye popping cast, hilarious set design and great directing from the man himself you won't go wrong by buying Pulp Fiction.
With the ever memorable opening sequence with Jules and Vincent talking about getting high in hash bars in Amsterdam and the extreme violence that ensues between Butch Coolidge and Marsellus Wallce this is definitely QT's best film today.
The script is very much unique and unwinds at every turn, one question i'd ask QT is where does he get this stuff. The script takes a stab at every thing from Amsterdam hash bars, to what the french call a quarter pounder in McDonalds, it even quotes the bible, with the notorious passage which Jules recites before ever killing sends a chill up the viewers spine.
"Pulp" was the movie that resurrected John Travolta's career, made Uma Thurman a star and brought a new respect to the whole crime genre.
