A film that resurrected a couple of careers, put a couple of others on the map and made a star out of its director

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2020)

In terms of entertainment and style, few films can match Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. You can tell that this film is the work of a filmmaker that truly loves movies. Virtually every scene jumps at you with so much energy, wit and humor, that when it is all said and done, you leave the film with an emotional high. Pulp Fiction is not a film with a serious and thought provoking plot. What it is though, is a film that is built on sharp dialogue, cultural references, catchy tunes and strong performances from its talented ensemble cast. It resurrected Joh Travolta's and Bruce Willis' careers. And it gave Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman their first big roles and made them into household names. As far as Tarantino is concerned, it proved to the critics that he was not a one hit wonder, and put him on the short list of one of the great up and coming directing talents. A career that has now lasted for almost three decades.
