This film is a outstanding achievement with a great cast great characters fantastic direction from Tarantino as always! and visually perfect if you liked other tarantino films the this is a must see!

This film is Tarantino at his best.There is something for everyone, it is at times a very dark black comedy it make you laugh out loud, and then in the same breath can make you want to reach for a pillow to hide behind. With a brilliant cast list including, Samuel L Jackson, Bruce Willis and great chemistry between John Travolta and Uma Thurman this film is one you go back and watch time and time again and never feel dissapointed.Will continue to be as popular in twenty years time as the day it was released which is always the sign of a true classic.

The stories that make up the plot of the film go as follows...Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) are two hit men hired by LA crime lord Marcellus Wallace to track down a very important suitcase. A couple of lovebirds named Pumpkin and Honey Bunny decide to rob a restaurant at gunpoint. A few days later Marcellus asks Vincent to take his wife Mia (Uma Thurman) out for the night since he's away on business. Meanwhile an ageing boxer named Butch Collidge (Bruce Willis) has opted not to take Marcellus Wallace's money and fall in the fifth round - instead he just decides to take the money and flee LA. However, all these stories are shown interlaced at the same time during the film...allowing characters to cross over into each other's stories and timelines. Also, in typical Tarantino fashion - none of these proposed scenarios go to plan.

Despite the complicated plot and highly unlikely situations, the dialogue of the film brings realism. The characters are unsure about decisions and have very normal trivial conversations. One such conversation is when Jules and Vincent are amazed that a Quarter Pounder burger is called a Royale in Paris - due to the metric system. An example of hesitation and humanity comes when Butch is trying to decide how to kill the rapists who have captured Marcellus. He scours the back counter of the gun shop picking up a hammer, a chainsaw and a baseball bat before settling on a Kantana Samurai sword. The extreme content of violence and language is counterbalanced by this dark but subtle humour.

The audience of this film will feel confused, horrified, amused and enthralled by its stark unafraid nature. The title comes from the nickname for cheap paperback fiction Tarantino encountered that always told of urban mythology which was never quite disbelieved. This is where the basis for these scenarios come from - the hit man who has to take his boss' wife for dinner, the boxer who flees with rigging money -Tarantino took them out of their confines and brought them to real life characters who then dealt with such extraordinary circumstance in a normal way.

The look and feel of the film is also superb. A soundtrack of surfing music goes eerily well with the graphic violence, particularly the title theme by Dick Dale. The 1950s diner Mia chooses is an amazing setting, setting an atmosphere unrivalled by any other restaurant scene in other films. The performances by the well chosen cast are amazing to watch...particularly Samuel L. Jackson and Harvey Keitel. There is also a superb scene by Christopher Walken, playing Butch's father in a flashback scene.

Pulp Fiction really is a creative masterpiece of a script delivered perfectly onto the cinema screen. A film to see before you die and a film you take with you to your grave.

This is a classic film, funny, emotinal and scary at times. this film is one that you would definetly watch again.
