Highly enjoyable non-stop action, fun, silliness, twisted and perverted.

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2005)

Having seen both of the Kill Bill movies, and having enjoyed their extreme entertainment value, I decided to see Tarantino's earlier Pulp Fiction. This film, filled with the "f" word and the "n" word and all manner of profanity (enough to make a sailor blush)and obscenity (who really cares), is a highly entertaining and cartoonish, mish mash of stories, plots and subplots centering about a gang of varied characters featuring drug dealers, dopers, perverts, rednecks, gangsters, murderers, bullies, victims, and all their blood, guts, violence, stupidity, and even a smattering of religion. What Tarantino has done here with his cast of wild characters is cover all the bases, providing non-stop entertainment and excitement for the viewer who is able to suspend his disbelief and disconnect from reality long enough to last until the head-scratcher that comes when the film runs out. (The story really doesn't end; I think Tarantino just ran out of time!) This is a great vehicle for the ever-familiar and versatile John Travolta. Samuel Jackson is a great and lovable baddest-type bad guy. I loved Harvey Keitel's cameo. Don't look for a lot of reality here, but enjoy the exaggerated realism. I found lots of laughs (it's easily as funny and silly as Kill Bill 1), lots of gore, lots of nice guns, strange twists, and enough time warps to want to see it again just to get things straightened out.
