Written And Performed Brilliantly

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 1999)

Michael Madsen(free willy), Tim Roth(pulp fiction), Harvey Keitel(co producer), Chris Penn(at close range), Steve Buscemi(things to do in denver when you're dead) Lawrence Bender(co producer) and Quentin Tarantino(producer, director, writer) star in this violent epic which sets a standard in modern filming.
The story is fairly basic. A class of thieves plan to rob a bank. When they attempt, the police are aware, which leaves them with the conclusion that someone tipped the police off.
Buscemi gives a career best(which is hard to do considering his near flawless career) as Mr Pink. Roth, Madsen and Penn also do well and deserve recognition for their performances.
Some of the scenes are magic. The torture of a cop where Madsen gives a terrific sequence, the end scene where they all get suspicious of one another and the opening scene where we are introduced through a midway conversation about famous entertainers.
Tarantino, in my eyes, is the best director in Hollywood. I really hope he decides to take the Rocky 6 film he has been offered. Rating=5/5
