Brilliant, Shocking, Operatic Violence - A Royal with Cheese

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2002)

An amazing cast makes this thinly plotted film a treat. The lame plot construct is easily ignored by the unique dialogue - this is what makes the film a top choice. Often imitated, never fully realized the film is for better or worse the comeback vehicle for Travolta, and a launching pad for Jackson. Uma has never been more appealing. The violence is shocking (including a rape scene), but the non-linear story line gives us a series of interwoven redemption stories that work well enough to allow us to listen to the incredible dialogue - the best Terintino will ever offer us. Sans Dogs.
