Yet another Pulp Fiction...

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2001)

Seven years after "Pulp Fiction", I think we have reached a point where we don't need any more movies containing: (1) stupid criminals who are (2) talking like ten-year-olds, while they are (3) committing acts of violence, (4) giving laconic comments on those, all of which is (5) shown in many interwoven plots with lots of flashbacks and time jumps.
In fact, I liked the movie, and I laughed quite hard in some places. There are great farcical scenes, great editing (Dennis Farina's trans-atlantic flights are about the funniest 2 seconds of movie I've ever seen), but all the same, I thought, yawn, just another "Pulp Fiction" rip-off.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those hard-boiled "Tarantino is god, and everyone else is stealing from him" fans, but in this case it's pretty obvious, and it kind of spoiled the movie for me.
