(re)Defining Cinema

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2010)

As soon as the movie starts , you get the feeling, no you know it will be good. Not good, brilliant. The story is quite simple , depicts the moments after a professional robbery that went wrong and how they deal with it. It is told "In medias res" , fact alone that's responsible for the way the film captures your attention.
If you've seen other Quentin's movies, you must know the style : realistic, humorous, perfectionism - and they are all so perceptible . The way the scenario is purposely confined and yet is pictured to the extreme ; how natural the talking is, not only believing but compelling ; and of course how Tarantino's way of having us laugh in a uncommonly way.
Last note for the actors, they are all memorable but it wouldn't be right if'd not mention these : Quentin Tarantino itself , Steve Buscemi, and last, Tim Roth's performance blew me away. It's a fact i was already a fan but the guy doesn't cease to amuse me.
Eventually, the movie's essence is so accurately delivered that , even though they are criminal , pretentious scumbags of the society, you grow fond of them, actually having compassion for them - more on that, you not only want to know what happened, what went wrong, but you actually wish them good.
If that's not something in a movie , then i don't know what it is.
9.4/10
