A truly excellent film of this genre!

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2005)

What a great movie.
Yeah, it's horribly violent and profane, with lots of gore.
But this really is a character study of a certain class of criminals.
This represents not only the best of what independent films can be, but also how you can get tremendous bang for very little buck if you have a good script and good actors.
Notice this film has very sparse sets, no chase sequences, very few stunts, and no special effects. Yeah, there's one dog but beyond that there are no tricks at all. Just great dialog well delivered.
This is a classic. Quentin Tarantino at his near-best (in my opinion he parlayed this into Pulp Fiction, his best work).
It's a shame that Tarantino hasn't been more prolific. But his handful of films truly revolutionized the whole indie genre.
10 out of 10.
