great film

Rating: 9/10 (16 September 1999)

This movie proves, once again, that Mr. Tarantino is a great filmwriter. His dialogues are simply magnificent. I've also never seen a film that combines real violence and pure romance in such a touching way as this movie does. The acting was also really good, certainly when you consider that this is, after all, an action movie. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette aren't bad, but the real stars are the supporting actors. Just see the scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken or the performance of a dreadlocked Gary Oldman, and you will understand what I mean. And then there is the music. Great music. Especially the 'exotic Christmassong' that frequently comes back, is used in an excellent way. I've already seen this film three times and it still isn't boring. And that is a remarkable achievement for an action movie.
