ONLY bad point was Quentin's cameo...

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2002)

Excellent film with a memorable screenplay, and an awe-inspiring performace by Mistah Jackson. The only reason I can't bring myself to give it the full '10' it probably deserves would have to be Mr. Tarantino's (thankfully) brief performance as Jules' buddy. His performance during the "coffee/dead ni**er storage" scene was rather brutal. With that one exception, Samuel L., John Travolta, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Harvey Keitel, Uma (Oprah?), Ving-man and Bruce Willis all put in fine performances (again, with the last scene involving Jackson and Roth the most impactful) that only get stronger with repeat viewings. Of course, I'll always have the question in my mind of whether or not Jules ever DID leave "the business", and if Mr. Wallace rescinded the "there is no you and me - not no more" he gave to Willis' character, (Spoiler) after finding out that Vincent Vega was dead (not to mention the obvious one of what the heck WAS in that briefcase), but that's just one of the many ways this new classic affected me - and undoubtedly the legions of other fans it captivated upon its release. 9.5/10
