This is the film I want on a Desert Island!

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2002)

Only this movie would make me want to write a review. This has got to be one of my all-time favorites. If I had to choose a couple movies to take to a deserted island this would be one. No matter how many times you watch it you see new things every time. The characters are mysterious. Their interaction is tense. The music, camera work, and sound effects all work together to heighten the mood. The acting of Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, and Michael Madsen is riveting in its unflinching intensity. As you get caught up in the story you will find yourself hanging on every word and every mannerism. Thankfully the story is clear enough so that the flashbacks serve to add timely bits of info when needed but don't slow the pace. Every time I see this film I feel wrung out by the end. Hats off to Quentin Tarantino; this is hands-down the finest work he's done. The soundtrack is a wonderful romp through the Seventies. I strongly recommend watching this in Widescreen version with Surround sound but video tape and your T.V. speaker will still be exciting.
