Top Reviews Review created: 21/06/07 by: 14 of 15 people found this review helpful. A classic. The return of John Travolta !!! This film had so many fantastic phrases and lines that it is worth watching it just for them !!! Samuel L Jackson, Harvey 'The Cleaner' Keitel and Bruce Willis were all excellent in this violent, all action film. It is always fantastic when you see so many great actors on the screen in one film !!! This is a must see film !!! Review ID: 10000000003840637 Was this review helpful?

By far his finest hour, film geek Tarantino's follow-up to his cult hit 'Reservoir Dogs', 'Pulp Fiction' is a hard hitting, brutally aggressive movie with an occasional comical flare, that looks at a day in the life of several characters that intertwine with each other to create a profane fiasco. With a snazzy script that stands high above other blockbuster premises, the cast is headed off by Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta and Bruce Willis, playing the parts of two hit men and a boxer respectively. Set into three segments, the three stories all involve each other, whether only as a passerby or in a main role, the star-studded cast, including the likes of Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman, Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz and British actor Tim Roth, who all agreed to work for a smaller pay-packet while acting in this film, excel in their own unique way to make this a very enjoyable viewing that you wouldn't mind seeing again once you've finished. Jackson and Travolta play the two hit men Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega, sent by their boss Marsellus Wallace to reclaim a package from some underage associates. As you can guess this ends up in a blood bath, but the closing sequence of the scene is postponed to one of the closing scenes, where another incident is carried along, this time with the inclusion of how to mop-up brain once it's spilt across your back-seat. With a story that sways from Divine intervention to male rape, you will never know what the next minute holds in store. Tarantino's marvelous soundtrack is again a collection of classic sixties and seventies hits, some known, some not. Missed out in the 1994 Oscars, when Best Picture was awarded to Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks, this still remains a modern classic that holds all the hallmarks of becoming a legend. Followed in 1997 with Jackie Brown, starring Blaxploitation honey, Pam Grier. Finally on a 2-DVD collector's package, this is an absolute must! The Tarantino Fiction documentary is very intriguing while the Charlie Rose Show footage is great for any film buff or lover of the Director. The deleted scenes are cool, but two were already available on the Collectors edition video release. A worthy edition to anyone's library. Review ID: 10000000001229889 Was this review helpful?

You WILL love it. Even if you dont agree with the guns, shooting, drugs and bad language, you can't help but sit back in awe of how Quentin Tarantino has put this film seemlessly together. An all star cast help bring together a brilliant story in L.A's criminal underground. Also has a quality soundtrack creating a provocative atmosphere throughout. I bought this DVD as I had it on VHS Cassette and wanted something which will last a little bit longer. This DVD wont be one that I'll be reselling - its one I will watch again and again. What did I NOT like about this film? Nothing. Everything about this film is excellent. Review ID: 10000000002237437 Was this review helpful?

Brilliant performances from all the cast. If you have not seen this movie then this has to be on the top of your list. Review ID: 10000000000903920 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
