A cinematic masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2015)

When you think of crime classics my generation would think of this movie, and its easy to see why. The three stories which make up the movie's composition although different are all very compelling and keep the viewer gripped to the very end. Tarantino discovered an acting gem in John Travolta whose acting career at that point was in limbo and thanks to his brilliant performance in the role of Vincent Vega has enjoyed a resurgence, in fact this movie has the rarity of having all the cast turning in memorable performances, particularly Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson were all unforgettable and some of the most memorable dialogue of the decade, especially the bible quotation from Jules. This movie has been described as graphically violent and while violence is present, most of the violence actually occurs off-screen and its not as graphic as other movies of a similar genre, but what is depicted in the movie is the consequences of living the kind of lifestyle that the main characters choose to live, which in some cases prove to be dire, so I don't think the movie in any way glamorizes the criminal lifestyle. What do I think is in the brief case well that debate will rage on and on so I'm not going to say. To summarize, the acting is great, the dialogue is some of the most memorable in recent history, the pacing is spot on, the action and violence is not as graphic or as over the top as some would think. All in all this movie is unforgettable and a must own for all movie fans.
