I prefer it to Pulp.

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2003)

I've loved this film from the first time I saw it. I prefer it to Pulp Fiction as it is his (Tarintino's) first.
What I like about it most is the fact that there is no hero and no villain. None of these guys are pure evil and all of them are from good. Some great performances are in this film, put across that these are real guys in a bad situation. The two that stick with me are Harvey Keitel as 'Mr. White' and Steve Buscemi as 'Mr. Pink'.
People talk about the amount of violence, however, most of it happens in you minds eye and ear. Many of the shootings and the ear-cutting happen off screen. But unlike Pulp Fiction the violence in this film doesn't push the story as much.
The script is this film is great, a lot of shouting, some memorable lines, a lot of tension between Blonde and White and a few great conversations about nothing in particular.
And....what else can you say. Thanks to Tarintino's individual style, this will be remembered as one of the great debuts from a director.
9/10
