A masterpiece.

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 1999)

Sure it glorifies violence, but how else do you make a movie about criminals, in which everyone ends up dead? Given the plot, violence is hard to avoid. And yet--there ARE more gruesome movies. There are movies in which they'd actually SHOW the ear being hacked off, rather than sliding over to a wall. Personally, I didn't get how people thought THAT was the goriest scene in the movie. I found it wonderful, entertaining and thought-provoking on the nature of good and evil, an instant classic. Tarantino has a real gift for snazzy dialogue, which he exhibits here as much as Dusk Till Dawn or Pulp Fiction. The characters have depth, the simplicity is refreshing. One of the best movies ever made.
