Unique

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2004)

I got dragged to this film in 1994 by my younger sister, and when I first saw it, I couldn't put the pieces together. My younger sister looks amazingly like Uma Thurman, and when it came to her and the date with Vincent, I just looked at the the screen and pointed and said that I thought she looked just like her, except blonde!! And she was smug enough to tell me that she had heard this from many people! I didn't even know who the heck this actress was.
To me, this movie really can't be captured totally at a first viewing. It's kind of a circular film - the first scene is completed by the last scene.
I would recommend it for people who don't mind a lot of violence, who LOVE dialogue, and can not take a movie all that seriously.
I think it wonderfully cast - John Travolta can still play dumb but smart, Samuel A. Jackson is so intense it's scary, and I loved the handsome Eric Stolz as a drug dealer. In fact, everyone is so good in this little series of different stories that intertwine, that I must say I thought it wonderfully cast, with all the characters very believable.
I recently saw it again after many years, and I still say it a very violent movie, a black comedy, and something of an anomaly as far as movies go. It's just cool, what can I say?
My boyfriend asked me what part I would like to play if I could have played a part, and I said "Honeybunny." And then I said," Do you want me to call you "Pumpkin?"
This isn't a review, it's a comment. I believe this movie to appeal to some, and the rest of you close-minded, uptights that can't take a joke, well, that's your right.
