Fantastic for such low budget

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2004)

Wow, for a film made with a meager .9 million dollars this is a gem.
Its got a budget set but the acting is SUPERB. you can cut the tension with a knife in some portions. Don't expect to be won over in the first 5 minutes, but by the end you'll realize its genius. Its about a bunch of criminals trying to figure out who is the traitor. This movie is a TRAGEDY, like in the shakespearian sense. If you studied shakespear's tragedies in school you'll have an idea of how this film might turn out.

be warned kids, this movie has MORE than a sailor's share of swearing. oodles of blood too. The Ear scene can be quite unnerving for some viewers.

this movie has a great story behind it too, tarantino wrote it while working at his video store, he then gave it to his friend. Who gave it to his teacher. Who gave it to his wife who was an actor. who gave it to her director. who gave it to one of the actors in the movie. Thats how tarantino eventually got the tiny bit of funding he got for this movie.
