Pretty, Badass, and Pretty Badass

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2005)

This movie is great, to put it short. If you liked Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill, this is an immediate recommendation. Like Pulp Fiction, it has three different slightly intertwining stories. Also like Pulp Fiction, it is told in an out of whack chronology. The acting is excellent. Clive Owen, Jamie King, Bruce Willis, and Brittany Murphy are very good. Benicio Del Toro and Rosario Dawson are excellent. But Mickey Rourke OWNS this movies. Let me tell you how much he owns this movie. He is in one third of the movie, and he OWNS it. Jessica Alba and Alexis Bledel are there only for pretty faces, which is made up for by the former actors. Finally, Elijah Wood does well and does a complete turn around from Frodo to the creepy caniballistic Kevin. Very quotable, and a great movie for the ages.
