outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2004)

this film is very extraordinary in both originality and skill.it is a very original crime story,and the screenplay is great (it made me feel sick of the usual lazy hollywood thrillers).it is a wonderful breakthrough by tarantino. the level of reality in the violent scenes is very high,and in addition characters are very well developed(remembering Roth's acting thing,it was great). the structure was also very nice: flashbacks,telling the story from one of the guys' eyes etc.(which is nowadays used in the brilliant tv series "boomtown").cleverly written story. in summary,it takes the standards one floor up!
