THE man's movie of the year...violent and outrageously funny

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2001)

This is the man's movie of the year...it has two of the three primary things men love in a movie: plenty of extreme violence (the worst things are slightly below the bottom of the frame), and simultaneous hysterically funny visual humor. The collection of characters are all fascinating; the plot is complex, but the breathtaking pace of the journey through its twists and turns is (with a single very moving exception) delightful; the score is perfectly chosen to support each scene, and the acting is an ensemble tour de force, not the least of which is Brad Pitt's dedicated performance.
