Simply a masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2006)

There may be numerous brilliant movies made in the 90ies (e.g. Heat, Terminator 2, The Shawshank Redemption, just to name a few), but this one isn't only the best of the decade but potentially the best movie ever made - and by far the one I was most fascinated from the very beginning. Containing a bunch of great Hollywood actors, one of the best sound tracks around and arguably the greatest dialogues such a movie could offer (e.g. the foot massage talk, Willis in the cab, all of Keitel's lines) this Tarantino work is simply a masterpiece. The cast is extraordinary, without exception. Pick Walken as the vet, Tarantino as the worried yet clarified husband (nearly unbelievable if you consider him playing the perverse, violent Richard Gecko two years later), Willis as the lucky boxer and so on. I can't help myself - reflecting about the movie just makes me adore it even more (if that's possible). Probably I just haven't seen it often enough to somehow satisfy me yearn for Pulp Fiction.
