Four modern crime noir tales which one tells of two professional hitmen Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vince (John Travolta) work for gangster Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) and retreive a stolen suitcase. Since Wallace is out of town for a few days, Vince takes out Marcellus's wife Mia (Uma Thurman) out for dinner but a mistake occurs but soon gets fixed. Next a retired boxer named Butch (Bruce Willis) accidently kills an opponient as he must flee the city as soon as he gets back his dead dad's golden watch and struggle with a perverted pawnshop owner then finally our two hitmen kill someone in the car by accident as they must clean up the mess then later two criminal lovers Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) and Pumpkin (Tim Roth) decide to rob a restraunt but with Jules and Vincient right there in the middle of the mess.

An extraordinary motion picture that has been hailed by audiences and critics alike as a modern masterpiece of film. Quentin Tarantino fresh off from directing "Reservoir Dogs" which shocked and suprised audiences and critics alke too has created another classic of his but as an anthology. The soundtrack is just outstanding including the amazing performances by the cast which also includes Christopher Walken, Rosanna Aequette, Dwayne Whitaker, Phil Lamarr, Harvey Keital, Quentin Tarantino and Eric Stoltz. The dialog is sharp and so is the original screenplay and the characterizations are well done. This is a knock-your-socks off experience that has became one of the true classics of recent memory that is violent, unique, complex and smart as well with so much memorable quotes you don't know where to start and it's a must see.

This 2-Disc DVD set is awesome with it's brilliant transfer and sound quality with some great extras like "Pulp Fiction: The Facts" Documentary, deleted scenes, production design featurette, INterview with Tarantino on "The Charlie Rose Show", Behind The Scenes Montages, Interviews from the Independent Spirit Awards, Palma D'or Acceptance speech, Reviews and articles on the film, Trailers even international ones, TV Spots, 8 different still galleries, soundtrack chapter stops, and cool DVD-Rom features.

I am even disappointed about being disappointed by this movie because I loved Quentin's "Resevoir Dogs". But this flick was so painfully contrived, poorly written and conceived, and so dependent on transparent cheesy ploys to get attention that it is just totally unwatchable. The pretty girl just because you need a pretty girl (especially on commercial posters and DVD covers), the John Travolta dance scene because they needed to exploit the popularity of Saturday Night Fever, the overdose scene just to show we can film such a thing, the buggery scene just for shock value....and on and on....all very transparent ploys to get attention, shock the faint-hearted and draw in the gullible masses that'll watch anything that shocks the faint-hearted and righteous types. Everything was poorly glued together with a weak, unbelievable plot unworthy of a major film producer/director. The lack of time chronology, the jumping back and forth between scenes wasn't even done well, which is disappointing from Quentin T. He knows that jumping back and forth in time during scenes can be very effective. And Quentin knows how to do it very effectively...again, I refer you back to Resevoir Dogs, a brilliant flick where he used devices in a very effective and stirring way. RD is one of my all-time favorite movies, which is why I am so utterly disappointed by this very cheesy follow-up. I think QT was even trying to "give the audience a message about redemption" when Travolta's little gangster buddy (played by Samuel L. Jackson) 'found God' after all was said and done. This only drags the film further into the gutter of uselessness. Resevoir Dogs gave no messages. It displayed the characters as they were, let you taste the lives of these dirtballs and left you to draw from it what you will. This flick was riddled with poor writing, unbelievable glitzy plots, unnecessary characters and scenes that served no purpose other than to transparently get certain intended reactions from certain people, the time chronology jumps were poor and not as effective as QT is capable of when he does a good movie.....there are many reasons to wish this flick was never made. There is some decent acting by some of the involved actors, given the undesirable script. Harvey Kietel, John Travolta and Bruce Willis all gave decent performmances under the circumstances. It almost made the movie worth 2 stars, just about, almost. But, the movie was just so bad! If you like lots of gangster-related violence, swearing and shock-value fluff with no plot, just a bunch of poorly constructed movie devices haphazardly glued together, you might enjoy this film. Otherwise.....the hype didn't match the final product. Sorry, Quentin. I know that you know how to make a brilliant movie. This flick was just not up to what your standards should be. Better luck next time.

(I'm adding this after my initial review because I can see I'm already getting negative votes that are obviously coming from people who have already seen the movie and disagree with my assessmemt. If you haven't seen this fick, don't let these people sway your thinking. As I said, if you like mindless shock value or are turned on by anything at all that would get a rise out of the faint-hearted or righteous types, you may like this film. But if like me, you think shock value is great, but only if it is well done, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this film.)

I got a headache after watching this because of swearing by many actors from the beginning till the end. The acting is lively. It's worth watching once.

Saw this on the big screen back in 1994, and have loved it sense. The dialouge between the characters, the memorable lines (which are several), the cinematography, the direction, acting are all first rate.

But to me the most important thing is how the stories within the movie unfold leaving the viewer to ask "what's next?" instead of having everything explained from the beginning. All questions (excpet for what's in the briefcase) are answered. It takes patient viewing.

In sum: the greatest movie ever. A must watch.

This is an excellent movie. The actors bring robust life to their roles and create memorable and quirky characters. The writing is original and innovative. The most impressive aspect of the film is how the director effectively breaks the usual convention (dating back to Aristotle's Poetics) of having a linear beginning, middle and end. Good stuff.

I do not deny that this much lauded Quentin Tarantino film set in a violent underworld is enjoyable. There is snappy dialogue, interesting characters - such as Samuel L. Jackson's Bible-quoting hit man, Harvey Keitel's problem solving `Wolf' and Bruce Willis's boxer on the run -, intelligent banter between the film's various characters - such as between Samuel L. Jackson and his hit man partner John Travolta and between John Travolta and his gangster boss's wife Uma Thurman when the two of them go out on a `date' -, a number of conflicts involving guns that highlight the violent underworld which the film's characters inhabit, a particularly horrifying scene that takes place in the basement of a second-hand store and even an excellent cameo from Tarantino himself as Samuel L. Jackson's testy friend who doesn't want his wife to find out about his underworld connections. But these elements unfortunately do not add up to a whole because this film is lacking the most basic ingredient that any film must possess: a plot. There just isn't one. Lots of `stuff' happens in this film but there is no story to follow, no tale being told, just the activities of a group of disparate characters who do this and that and then the film is over. It may seem strange that I am giving this film 4 stars after such criticism but that is because what there is to watch is enjoyable as I have already said, despite the film's severe shortcomings. This is a testament to Tarantino's ability to create an enjoyable film experience for the viewer. But just as candy floss is only meant to please the taste buds and not fill the stomach likewise this film cannot be considered a meal, because of what it lacks. Yes, it is enjoyable. But it is no classic.

This has to be one of the greatest films ever made in my opinion , great acting , great writing , great movie , a modern day classic , highly recommended.

If somebody pointed a gun at me and said,"You gotta have an opinion -about what the best movie of the 90s is" I'd tell them to point that gun away from my head before it accidently goes off. And then for lack of a better answer to this impossible question, I would answer PULP FICTION. In anycase, anyone crazy enough to point a gun at somebody while asking their opinion about what the best movie of the 90s is might not like other answers I might come up with as much.

I think it is the funniest movie I've seen that actually doesn't go in the comedy section at the video store. There are no flaws in it. It's perfect. Quentin Tarantino cannot ever top it and will probably never even come close. When he dies they will refer to him first and foremost as the director of PULP FICTION. His place in history as one of the great directors of cinema is secured with this film.

This supremely artistic vehicle designed obviously to showcase the many sides of Samuel L. Jackson's multidimensional talents, is a cinema-graphic triumph of a very high order.

Tarrintino has done it again: pulled off the impossible and the surreal and made it seem so imminently possible and real: This movie, more than any other, is truly a new metaphor of our hectic times. As is true with all of his work, the technical aspects of Tarrintino's work are so carefully worked out and put in place - the utter cleverness and darkness of the subtext, the casting, the scenery, the character development, the script, the writing, the directing, the brutal artistic honesty -- that the critic has no place to turn to "nitpick."

His art, as is the case with any truly good art, is "above critique:"
It just "IS." Period.

It's multi-sided vignettes are angular pegs that do not fit in any square holes, yet taken together, they add up to a whole much larger than the sum of their parts. Altogether the movie (or the book) shouldn't work, but the script and the writing are handled with such exquisite aesthetic balance and sensitivity that not only do they work, but in doing so, the movie sets a new standard of cinema-graphic possibilities: It is an aesthetic feast well ahead of its times; one that makes the mind itch in places that can't even be accessed, let alone be scratched.

This is the only movie I have watched twenty times and still see new things in it that speak to our hectic times. It does not come as a surprise, nor does it bother me that its primary appeal is worldwide, rather than domestic. It was especially an unexpected hit in Japan and Europe. Every actor in it should have won an academy award, especially Jackson, Travolta, Thurman and Willis. It is like a basketball team that wins the NCAA championship: It could not have been pulled off without all of the characters playing their respective parts and doing so at the highest level of their art. Amen.

Five stars

A great weave of 4 seemingly unrelated tales which artfully tie together during the movie. Timeline shifts seem confusing at first but pull together in the end. Another one for your collection.

Pulp Fiction is the definative film of the nineties. In a word it is perfect!! Great acting, great story and of course who can forget the Tarantino diaologe. I do not really know what else to say that has not already been said so I will just leave it at that. Tarantino is a genius!!

Pulp Fiction is probably one of the greatest movies of the 1990's, but is it the best? No of course not. It's just ONE of them, but not it.

The movie in some way is unique and has some memorable dialogue and characters. But let's face it...It's completely OVERRATED. I swear I have seen this movie in every TV network I change it to. It's on almost every other week, even on HBO, STARZ & MAX. I have yet to see any other of his movies on TV like Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown. It's just Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction.

Alot of his fans considered this to be Tarantino's best film, but honestly Reservoir Dogs was much better in terms of everything: characters, dialogue, storyline, directing, acting; even if it was a low-budget film, it still rocked.

The movie is great, but like I said it has too much hype surrounding it. If it didn't maybe the movie could have been perfect. That's why I give it 3 stars - I would give it 3.5 stars but I can't. Great movie, but the hype totally takes 2 stars away from it...it gets 3 stars.

The movie, of course is good, but the DVD that I purchased skipped chapters and froze on other chapters thus having to start the movie again, or stop and start at a different place in the movie. Very disappointed in the quality of the DVD.

I am not usually one to care at all when certain movies are released in Fullscreen Mode (and not avaiable in Widescreen) or if they are released in Dolby Mono sound. In fact its great to have some of the classic films of the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's all avaiable on DVD. I do own a widescreen TV, so if I can get the format in Widescreen, I do so. Yet there is no excuse when I blockbuster hit such as Pulp Fiction is released on DVD with no 5.1 Dolby Surround, and the movie is letterboxed and not enhanced for 16x9 TV's (which means the movie is in a 4:3 aspect ratio, but its letterboxed, and it really looks no better then a letterboxed or Widescreen copy version that would be avaiable on VHS)I figure that I would send out this warning to those that are wanting to choose between the two copies avaiable here on Amazon. The first is the copy I own, which is the original 1 Disc DVD version. The other is a two disc version which is the special edition. It has DTS and 5.1 Surround added, but I have no idea if this version has enhanced the widescreen viewing for 16x9 aspect ratios. If you had you pick, I would stay away from the single disc version, and get the special edition 2 disc DVD, even if the picture isnt changed (which once again, I am un-sure) at least you get "true 5.1 or DTS sound) There are those that might love the fact that the movie is letterboxed and not in fullscreen, as I know people that bought all their movies during VHS and Laserdisc days in letterbox or Widescreen modes if avaiable. I happen to be the opposite, I rather see fullscreen, then have the thing letterboxed with no 16x9 enhancement, because I see a huge dip in picture quality, even when letterboxed, with no 16x9 enhancement. Hope this helps some of you out when choosing which version to get (and for those looking for fullscreen, Amazon has copies on VHS for one cent. ENJOY...

Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" is one of the most addictive movies I have ever watch. The acting is great. The plot, while being a little strange, is intriguing. And the sequence of the film, starting in the middle of the story, going back to the beginning, reaching the end (with a flashback thrown in) and then arriving back at the middle for the final scene in the movie was unique and inventive. It's also interesting to note that Tarantino tried the same concept with his Kill Bill, Volume 1 & Kill Bill, Volume 2 films but with mixed results. It just wasn't original any more and became somewhat annoying at times.

The problem that keeps me from rating this movie a "5" is that it's also a very sloppy movie. I understand that being a relatively low budget "Indie" flick will have it's drawbacks but no movie I have ever watched has had as many goofs & bloopers left in as Pulp Fiction. These include:

* Seeing the reflections of camera operators in windows
* Seeing the shadows of the booms & cameras in many scenes
* Many Continuity's issues, like the magically moving ketchup bottle that roams all over the table at Jack Rabbit Slims
* And my favorite: When Jules and Vincent are in the car discussing the "Royale with cheese" you can see the reflection of their vehicle being towed on a trailer.

All movies have a few instances like these but one website has tracked over 50 mistakes. Does this make Pulp Fiction a bad film? Of course not. In fact, once you know how sloppy it is it's actually quite fun to see how many goofs you can pick out. But I would hope, and expect, a much smaller list of screw-ups for any released film, even a low budget independent one.

But all that being said, this is a great film. I can only imagine the cast, including John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Tim Roth,& Ving Rhames, to name a few, must have had a blast making it. A truly intoxicating film!

Pulp Fiction is still regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made, and why should it change from that rank? This movie is basically a crime drama that follows the stories of different gangsters and what happens to them throughout the movie. The movie can be really funny in certain areas while giving you the classic drama feel, along with a recreation of how people seem to live. There is drug use and a lot of language, so parents shouldn't let there kids watch this movie, because it's an adults movie, and plus most kids don't know how to appreciate something this good(Stupid High School Musical! Way to ruin the meaning of quality!).

Well today was the first time I actually sat down and watched Pulp Fiction for the first time (with full attention) and I have to say.....I was blown away. Pulp Fiction is one of those movies that has that timeless qaulity that will have people watching it 30 year's from now, and it will still have the same effect on those people that it has on people now. It is an abosolute masterpeice of experimental/independant cinema, extremely ahead of it's time, and mile's away from what anyone was doing at the time. Quentin Tarantino is a director with his own original style that could never be replicated or imitated, and you can't say that much about director's anymore.

The great thing for me about Pulp Fiction is how it play's out as a modern day exploitation film. Tarantino's infuences really shine through here, for year's I've heard about all the movie's that influenced him, and they all could not be more apparent. Pulp Fiction has that retro 70's vibe only found old exploitaion movie's and bad-a** action movie's from that era. As a big fan of those film's myself it was great to see a modern-day filmmaker incorporate those influences in a new way ,and I applaud him for doing so.
Of course one of Tarantino's trademark's is his great use of dioluge. I think people enjoy this for a two reason's; 1. It's refreshing to hear the character's in a movie actually talk like real people would talk. 2. It's just funny/interesting dioluge, plain and simple. It say's a lot that a director can make an amazing movie without abundant amount's of flashy editing and special effect's.
Overall Pulp Fiction is an amazing, and most importantly, original masterpiece of experimental cinema that will continue to 'wow' viewer's for year's and year's to come. Highly recommended.

Product arrived as promised, early, in fact! And after watching, i am still as confused as i was the first time i saw it. But great all the same, even WITH John Revolting!

There is and never will be enough to say about ths movie. It is probably the greatest movie to ever come out of the 90's. It was the most original movie to come out in a while, one of the most widely respected and critically acclaimed genre films of all time. Tarantino almost single handedly launched the careers of Samuel L. Jakson, and Uma Thurman. He revived the career of John Travolta, and introduced Amanda Plummer to the U.S., all be it a very small role she delivered a wonderful performance.

If you like genre films, great dialogue, colorful characters, or hearing Samuel L. Jackson say 7 different variations of the f word. You should watch this movie. I have seen it hundreds of times... It's that GOOD. (In case you hadn't figured it out) Buy this movie now!

PULP FICTION is the sort of tale right up Quentin Tarantino's dark alley of a fictional mind. All of his criminals speak the profanity-laced dialog with such effortless ease that it seems perfectly natural after the first five minutes to hear the "f" word and the "n" word spoken with regularity by a very competent cast of actors. There is no such thing as political correctness in his vocabulary, so it's an audacious piece of work.

Tarantino weaves the tales of several characters, not all of whom are related, until eventually the tales do dovetail together to make a common pattern out of the jumbled narrative. It's all done in brisk, good story-telling style to keep the viewer interested throughout the two-and-a-half hour running time.

The dark humor is present in almost every situation you can think of involving murder and mayhem and somewhere, in all the Bible readings that SAMUEL L. JACKSON quotes, there's a message about redemption that seems to be the raison d'etre for the final scene in the diner.

UMA THURMAN has delicious fun with the role of a gangster's moll who sniffs a little too much white powder in the ladies room while on a date with JOHN TRAVOLTA. The two of them get a chance to demonstrate their prowess with romantic comedy in this wonderful sequence where they go to a '50s-theme restaurant with an art deco ambiance and some '50 icons like Marilyn Monroe, Ed Sullivan and Mamie Van Doren doing their stuff while platters are served. They also indulge in a twist dance contest which, naturally, they win.

It's the lightest moment in a film with plenty of dark twists and unpredictable shoot-outs that are a blend of violent gore and gales of laughter. HARVEY KEITEL has a fine time with the role of a "cleaner-upper" who gives instructions on how to wipe the blood off messy crime scenes. BRUCE WILLIS is excellent as a boxer who fails to lose the match and has to go on the lam to escape the wrath of a crime boss. His brutal treatment at the hands of a sadistic hardware store owner and his sick pals is one of the most lurid episodes of the many layered story. They don't call this "pulp fiction" for nothing!! Despite the disturbing scenes of violence, it manages to be a highly entertaining mix of crime and comedy that keeps rolling along toward a satisfying ending in the diner where the first scene involving TIM ROTH and AMANDA PLUMMER took place.

Summing up: More likely to have broadest appeal for young male viewers who like their crime stories raw, real and unpredictable. Original, inventive and understandably awarded a great many honors when released.

Pulp Fiction is still raw, captivating, and completely mindblowing to this day. This is the only Quentin Taritino film that I truly adore, the whole cast are at their best here especially John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, and Bruce Willis. If you love a long and complicated film then Pulp Fiction is for you. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

I myself have had the pleaure of watching many great movies such as Shawshank Redemption, the Godfather 1 and 2. Etc..

But this movie was just that much better, at least in my opinion. The role of Jules Winnifield played by Samuel L Jackson was just brilliant. Bets character in the movie. I just loved this film. It's a film you actually have to watch twice to fully understand, I love movies that make you think and still have action and funny at the same time. Great cast as well...just an amazing move.

Like any great work of art, it can be a bit difficult to write about a movie like Pulp Fiction. The movie has a kind of logic, an attitude, and a style all its own, a feel that simply doesn't exist in any other movie (not one that I've seen, anyway). It's hard to sum up exactly what's so incredible about it; sure, I could go on and on about the mouthwatering performances (seriously, is this cast a dream team or what?), the twisting mindbender of a plot, the jaw-dropping dialogue, the one-of-a-kind characters, or the instantly evocative set pieces, but there's more to it than just that. The movie is, in the truest sense of the phrase, so much more than the sum of its parts. Pulp Fiction is a world unto itself, a fantasy universe in which the most tantalizingly filthy aspects of American culture are transformed into high art. It's a world in which comic books, dime novels, gangster films, and surf music 45s are every bit as evocative and compelling as the works of Shakespeare or Da Vinci (seriously, I'm not exaggerating. This movie really has moved me to the same ecstatic heights that I reached after reading Hamlet for the first time). It's a movie that wraps you around its finger from the unforgettable opening scene and holds on to you until- well, it still hasn't let go of me. There simply aren't any bad scenes in this movie. Not a single line of dialogue that doesn't work. There isn't one lousy shot out of place, not a single moment that I seems like it can be improved. Now, I rarely fawn over anything the way I'm praising this movie right now, but then again, I've rarely ever experienced anything like this movie. It defies categorization. It's an absolute masterpiece. Get it. Watch it. Please!

This film is all about dialogue, I know what your saying, Check out the big brain on Mike, I'm a smart mother father. This movie had me wanting to walk the earth, you know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu", just so i could get into conversations and practice dialogue such as this.
Of course, not all conversations are gonna go smoothly like in Pulp Fiction and there are going to be ignorant people who get angry and are ready to blow, to them i say. "Oh! Oh! You ready to blow?" Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherflower, motherflower! , I'm Superfly T.N.T., I'm the Guns of the Navarone!
You probably came into this review thinking here comes another plot synopsis, usually, most readers would be happy with some freeze-dried reviewers choice, but Mike springs this serious GOURMET shiznit on us!
A lot of movies try to be clever but aren't in the same ballpark as Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same F'in sport.
So finally in closing I'd like to exuberantly add, mmmmmm this is a tasty movie, if it's ever on television check it out sometime. Actually if you haven't seen it yet, I don't wanna hear about no mf ing ifs. All I wanna hear from your anus is, You ain't got no problems, Mike. I'm on the mother-father. Go back online, order Pulp Fiction, and wait for the dvd, which should be coming directly.

First 45 minutes are painfully slow plot setup. I admit I fell asleep the first two times I tried watching, but I kept hearing how good the movie is. Third time I tried, I got to the middle- then bam it takes off. Then you can't walk away until it's over. Recommended, but beware of the beginning.

This is an amazing movie. Never will you have such randomness be such a highly praised piece of work. A monumental movie for Quentin Tarantino and the generations that followed.

This is a movie about, essentially, two stories.
- Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta's characters Jules and Vic Vega.
- Bruce Willis's character of Butch Coolidge

But the situations they get into are amazing in the way they are told.

Wonderful movie. I wouldn't recommend to the faint at heart.

To avoid any notion of spoilers, I will be as cryptic as I can.

When a certain character rings a certain doorbell, the character's fingernail (shot in close-up on doorbell button) is absolutely filthy.

This shot has bothered me ever since I first saw this movie.

Is the fingernail dirty because it goes against the nature of the character?

Is the fingernail dirty because it belongs to one of the crew?

I don't know. But it makes me wonder.

This is by far my favorite film. Quentin Tarantino once again gives us witty dialogue, thrilling scenes, and memorable characters. A tale of love, loyalty, betrayal, crime, and featuring an A-list of actors such as John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel and Christopher Walken. Pulp Fiction is quite a ride, I hope you enjoy it.

This is THE movie that made the 90s the 90s. Featuring drug use, sexual situations and nudity, this is the film that made Quentin Tarentino the big international star that he is today. Billed as Italian, though I'm pretty sure he's french Italian, it was a big hit in America and has a devoted cult following today. Recommended for fans of true crime and drama, pulp delivers as it's sexier than porn because it serves to merely titillate. Some hailed it as a masterpiece.

I recently had the misfortune of watching this movie. The start was disjoint and did not really follow. I put up with it hoping it gets better but it did not! Just stayed boring and lame. The violence does not make it any more interesting because without a plot there is nothing to add to. What a waste of a good couple of hours. I guess this is standard Hollywood. I am learning that if a movie gets lots of praise from Hollywood, then it is highly likely to be garbage.

the twist sequence is magnificent. these two give so much joy and are so f--ing cool. I would have loved to see them dance in a full length film. i once actually saw chuck berry playing in brooklyn. this song was so weird then but nobody heard the words; it was the beat that moved us. but now the words are also so right and brings back memories of piped in music at bowling alleys. Berry endures as a smashing rock legend. does anyone doubt that pierre really did love his mademoiselle?And that this really matters?

Egads, this movie is a horrible, horrible film that you will find insufferable if you are an intelligent, thought-provoking filmgoer like myself.

Number one, it's the worst editing that's ever been done in the history of the world of movies. There are some characters that are killed off, but then appear in later scenes! Uh...hello. How sloppy can you be?!

Also, John Travolta is a lot of delicious fun in this movie with Uma Thurman and Samuel Jackson, but there should have been a lot more scenes with him in it. And many more with him dancing! That's what people pay to see. John Travolta should be dancing and romancing, and Samuel Jackson should be saying F-words, and Bruce Willis should be smirking while he walks on broken glass. This movie employs some of that, but not nearly enough.

I liked the music fine although it was too loud at times. Also there was a bit too much druggy scenes and violence for my liking. That's just not my cup of tea. But I wouldn't hold that against them too much. It's just that the story didn't make any sense and it wasn't very believable that all of this really happened.

Harvey Keitel was not very good, and neither was Tim Roth. And there is a lot of dialogue that seems unnecessary to the storyline, so they probably should have cut that and they would have had a nice, 90-minute action flick that any of us would have enjoyed.

As it is, I think Director Quentin Tarantino may have finally made a stinker!!!

Sincerely, Chris

I used to love this film,i watched it several times over and never got bored with it. But now i hate it. I hate it not because of the violence, no there are many other movies w/ WAAAAAY more disturbing sequences in them, and this one is mild in comparison(alot of the violence is offscreen anyway). no the reason i hate this film is because i hate Tarantino. Like every film he's ever made, Pulp Fiction is just a rip off of all the blacksploitation/crime drama he's ever seen, hell even the infamous Ezekial 25:17 line is a rip from an old sonny chiba movie. I think its fair to say that this movie has no originality in it whatsoever. Sorry Mr. Tarantino u should have become a film critic at best, but a director, i dont think so. So people, if u want an original crime drama then pass this one up and try the French New Wave films,thats where Quentin the hack gets most of his ideas anyway.

Pulp Fiction is one of the best American films ever made. As Tarantino was both writer and director the film has his mark all over it. The trademark use of natural dialog that essentially has nothing to with the plot. Scenes are shown chronologically out of sequence, which sounds odd but Tarantino makes it work to his advantage as the loveable rogues are still alive at the end of the film, in the scene where the film started from.

Tarantinos casting is perfect. John Travolta is a revelation, Samuel L Jackson is Samuel L Jackson, but this is before we knew who Samuel L Jackson was! Uma Thurman is also great, but in possibly the best scene in the film Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames also turn in teriffic performances. In a lovely cameo role Harvey Keitel also turns up near the end of the film as well.

There are cimematic nods to a number of Tarantinos favourite movies as well. The most noteable being the dance scene with Travolta and Thurman which is based on a sequence in Jean-Luc Goddard's 'Bande A Parte'.

This is a very violent film, but as the title indicates its a form of comic strip violence, and there is also an underlying black comedy element as well. It is endlessly watchable and quoteable and that is the sign of a really great film.

The most entertaining movie ever set eyes too. Seen it at least 20 times.
