The English Pulp Fiction (out of time, Ritchie!)

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2008)

I watched it when it was released and I found it funny, clever and capturing. I watched it in recent times and I found it still funny, clever in a sort of way and, instead of capturing...silly. Hopelessly silly.
Empty, I would say.
I mean, what's the big deal about a bunch of dangerous blokes slaughtering each other? It seems like Ritchie carries a flame for dangerous blokes. He goes to the point to hire real dangerous blokes to play the dangerous blokes on the screen! It's a bit disturbing. A kind of "feticism", isn't it?
I know violence is amusing, but what's the point of so much violence? What am I supposed to learn from this movie? That "heavy is reliable"?
Nonetheless I still like it. And that's what disturbs me most.
P.S.: In Pulp Fiction there were some females at least!
