true classic

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2015)

They don't come much more entertaining and enthralling than this early '90's classic. Even though this is very much a Tony Scott film (and one of his very best for that matter), ample credit must be paid to our man Tarantino for putting this wonderful, crazy ride together. His dialogue pulsates with wit and verve, his characters radiate with charisma and manic energy, and the whole film is a colorful, rich, endlessly engaging romp. And we can't forget the dynamite cast, who are all at the top of their game here. The Walken/Hopper Sicilian scene is truly one for the ages, and the chemistry between Slater and Arquette is fiery.
It's just a shame that the film wasn't more appreciated and lauded upon its initial release but it has rightfully found a cult following in the years to come.
