One of my favorite movies of all time!!

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2004)

I made a boo-boo when I voted. I gave it a 10 but something must have slipped because my vote registered as a 6.
This film came out 3 years before Pulp Fiction, before Tarentino made his big splash with Pulp Fiction. Maybe that is part of why this film was not marketed in the manner it deserved. I'm always amazed at the number of film fans I know who have never even heard of it! Tarentino did not direct this, but he wrote it.
It has almost as much (or as much) violence as Pulp Fiction, so if you hate Pulp Fiction maybe you wouldn't like this film either -- but otherwise it's AWESOME...! Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, Christian Slater and many others in this star-studded cast were excellent in their roles. This is most of all a FUN movie to watch. Brad Pitt's role is amazingly small -- and even more delightfully funny. I've watched this film at least 10 times and he cracks me up every time.
I really can't write a good enough review for this film. It is something you really must see for yourself. I don't usually like to pay retail for movies, and this is one of only two movies I just HAD to buy retail (this and Pulp Fiction)!
