K Billys SUPER SOUND Of The 70s

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 1999)

It's not like only the soundtrack was great. Quentin Tarantino did something great work putting in Tim Roth instead of James Woods (though Woods is a gifted actor as well). I think this gave Tim Roth the ultimate chance of a breakthrough on the American side of the Atlantic. (while at the same time adapting an American accent) I liked Steve Buscemis Mr Pink, although some may say Buscemi was awful. Harvey Keitel did a good job playing the GOOD bad guy Mr White. Although I don't think Mr Blondes (Michael Madsen) torturing scene with that Marvin Nash cop (How come all the poor guys are called Marvin-remember PULP FICTION?) did in fact do something to backup the plot, it was as essential as was Mr Pinks "...and Mr Pink sounds like Mr Pussy". I liked Lawrence Tierney and Chris Penns father-son roles. And Quentin T was just like Quentin T. Mr Blues (Eddie Bunker) character was something like a lost shoe. There were some minor errors like Marvin Nashs bound&gagged-freed-bound&gagged-again at the height of the torture scene, as well as Mr White smoking an unlit cigarette while arguing with Mr Pink. But those errors were, as said, minor. All in all I loved it!!!
