An American Classic

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2003)

Sure "Pulp Fiction" - Quentin Tarantino's collection of interconnected crime stories - is a landmark film that has inspired a galaxy of imitators.
What's really important is that it is an absolute joy to watch (and listen to!). Tarantino demonstrates his considerable gift for dark humor, smart dialogue, wild plot twists, and undeniable visual style. "Pulp" is one of the brightest jewels not just of Tarantino's impressive oeuvre, but of American cinema as a whole.
Credit must be given to the large cast (Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Harvey Kietel, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, etc, etc, etc) that positively sizzles.
"Pulp Fiction" is quite simply one of the most original, exuberant, exhilarating, movies ever made.
