boy meets girl with a pinch of salt

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2004)

this should be renamed truly superb. great idea, great cast, great music, great shots. the real strong point of this film is the music composed by hans zimmer. in terms of music composers zimmer is in a league of his own. the storyline is very typical of Tarantino with all the crime plot and gorey scenes you need. one thing that tony scott does a lot is use tilted camera angles when someone is lying on the floor. this works very well. the most famous cast members are all really in cameo roles. christopher walken only appears in one scene (a great scene with dennis hopper) and you never see val kilmar's face. gary oldman and brad pitt don't play big roles in fact brad pitt's character (a complete stoner) isn't very relevent to the story. there is only one thing that lets this film down. sometimes Christian slater talks to quietly and quickly for you to understand whats going on. other than that this is arguably better than pulp fiction.
