Tarantino...started with a BANG !

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2009)

I was like wow...this is different. I am glad Tarantino made this movie for 2 reasons. One he had the courage to make something that was different from what everyone else was doing. Second...if you did not catch this movie on the big screen...you had time to see it and knew NOT to miss his next movie in the big screen.
This movie had so many great things about it, too long to list. But safe to say I truly enjoyed the characters and the storyline. Looking back now this movie served as a jump-start or acceleration of actors careers, like Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen and of course Harvey Keitel.
The birth of the Tarantino-isms: 1. Bad guys talk with eloquence and intelligence about subject matter that would require recreational reading. 2. No story should ever be told in chronological order. 3. At every point possible inject pop culture and subtle homages to greats in the film history. 4. Curse words are a colorful part of the English language and should be utilized in a manner that elevates them from mere offenses. 5. If a character can be killed...well why not.
I was lucky enough to see this movie on the big screen. A solid movie that is worth re-watching. Only points off are for missing some of the fine tuning in later films and higher budget.
