9 - Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2015)

Tarantino starts his career off with a crime masterpiece. Whereas many heist films would focus on the heist and action itself, this low-budget intelligent indie classic instead takes place after a heist gone horribly wrong and the group of thieves each ponder who the traitor is. But not before a comedic diner conversation to introduce each of them.
Each of the characters are distinct and the film takes place out of order in order to highlight the perspective of each of the characters. It's a great thriller that will have you piecing together the puzzle of what exactly happened. It's one of those films that's able to captivate you and have you sucked into the universe, even feeling empathy for some of the characters. And, of course, there's an explosive ending.
