Cool gangster flick

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2000)

Quentin Tarentino masterfully plays with the element of time in this Oscar-winning black comedy. He weaves four seperate stories that brilliantly come together. Vincent Vega (John Travolta) is the slightly overweight hitman that has to kill boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) who doublecrossed his boss Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). In another story Vincent and Julius, another hitman, played by Samuel L. Jackson, go on a trip to recover a case of stolen money from a couple of small time gangsters and accidently kill their contact in their car. This is where the Wolfman (Harvey Keitel) comes in and saves the day. In between we see how boxer Butch Coolidge and hitman Vega struggle in everyday life and how Jules is enlightened. This all starts with the robbery of the diner where Jules and Vince discuss religion and saviour and where we meet robbers Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer who are taught a lesson by gangster Jules. Definately a movie to watch and well worth the Oscar
