The movie that started it all

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2002)

The first 10 minutes of this movie is a masterpiece in itself. The wonderful dialog between guys just sitting around eating breakfast then the opening credits playing along with a long forgotten song from the 1970s is brilliant, especially considering Tarantino was a newcomer. The cast is perfect. I really liked Chris Penn. This movie is even more sullen and uncommercial than Tarantino's follow- up, PULP FICTION. The movie gets a bit slow at times, but Tarantino has set up the movie so you will be interested in what happens to these not-so-lovable characters. On a scale of 1-10, I give it 8.
