Why watch this?
This odd, violent little film is one of QT's best. Plus it's
nice to see Travolta dance again.
Plot Summary:
This film intertwines the lives of two hitmen, a boxer, a
gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits in a series
of interconnected, non-linear stories set in the Los Angeles
criminal underworld. The film explores themes of crime,
violence, dark humor, and redemption, as the characters face
moral dilemmas and unpredictable situations.

Dad's Preview:
This crime thriller/dark comedy is creatively arranged, with scenes
occurring out of order. It features four stories that are loosely
linked, and it carelessly bounces between jovial, mundane
conversations, then to shockingly
violent action scenes. All stars give
great performances, and Tarantino makes sure that every
character has quirks galore. I must add that some of the plot
points are disturbing - namely "The Gimp in the basement".
Yet, some parts are a joy, such as the dance off featuring Mia
and Vincent - damn, it was good to see Travolta cutting up the
dance floor again. |
