Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, among others, has an interesting premise. Take a few different sub-movies, each lasting about 45 minutes, and have them all intertwine with each other. It works. It's a little in your face, but it works. But that's Tarantino's style, and it's a style that shouldn't be forgotten. The acting is surprisingly good, with a very decent all-star cast. With the heavyweights I motioned earlier, there's Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Christopher Walken, and even Quentin Tarantino himself appears at one point. The narrative, plot and dialogue are all very clever, too. It seemed to me that almost every line that came out of Samuel L. Jackson's mouth was a one-liner that would go down in history. My personal favorite was the Ezekiel 25:7 quote. Jackson's character is full of glorious Biblical knowledge. Like knowing that a 9MM is actually a shepherd in the valley of the shadow of death. Though the plot was interesting and keeps you thinking, It isn't perfect. There are a few things that aren't explained in the end. Whether or not these plot holes were intentional or not I don't know. But it's forgivable since the movie as a whole is just so... Cool... It's just fun and cool. And I think that's what it was meant to be. In classic Tarantino style, Pulp Fiction is a goreapalooza full of fun.
The Verdict:
Pulp Fiction is funny, cool, interesting, violent, anything you could name is pushed to the limit in a sometimes adrenaline filled time that absolutely should not be missed. Fantastic direction, acting, plot, and dialogue, Pulp Fiction has it all. I give it five ways to think you'll never look at a hillbilly the same way again out of five. 5/5
