If you want a longer life, stay away from the bank and jewelry store.

Quentin Tarantino surprised me again.
7 guys were causally talking like strangers in the beginning, which makes me a little puzzled. They then suit up like to something big. After the title and the blank, Mr. Orange suddenly got a bloody shot and dying while Mr. White was driving back to the rendezvous. The movie is so intense that you cannot help wondering what happened. You have no choice but to follow Quentin's thought to know what was going on.
Violence is everywhere and you have to get used to it. Obviously, Quentin don't want things go as normal. With the reveal of the story, things start going out of control. The ending was surprised but as expected, just as O Henry's novel.
Detail is the key. You have no idea when you first watch the movie. Why Mr. Pink doesn't tip? Why there was wired tickets offered over the radio? When you get the end, you will suddenly figure out that Quentin is acting like a strange uncle giving you small candies during the show and saying "catch it if you can" with a big smile.
One minute ago you fancy having a lot of money and go to Los Vegas. Next moment you lie on the ground, dead. Life is full of uncertainty. That might be one of the stuff that Quentin wants to tell us. My suggestion will be if you want a longer life, stay away from the bank and jewelry store.
