Exceptional Movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2002)

An excellent movie. A story of a crew of low-life stick-up guys, and the aftermath of a botched jewelry store robbery.
Exceptional acting by Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn and, especially, Michael Madsen. The dialogue and atmosphere is perfect for this fascinating story of small-time, small-minded crooks.
This movie was kind of formulaic film-noir, but the simple story, and the incredible interaction between the characters is superb. Quentin Tarantino certainly has an affinity and ear for these characters and events out on the outlaw fringes.
For my money, this was better than "Pulp Fiction".
