Great start from Tarantino!
4 March 2004
Got this on DvD and its up there with my personal favorite films, Tarantino made his name with this masterpiece but apart from Pulp Fiction he wont come close to putting together a better film. what I like about this movie is that its a tense and exciting test of male egos on a collision course with just the right mix of wit and cynicism which washes down its melodramatic excesses with sly satire on the blood-and-guts elements of crime movies, there's not many movies out there as powerful or original even do Tarantino got the idea from a Hong Kong based film.

The cast are all impressive especially Harvey Keitel as Mr White( my fave character in the film) who turns in for me the best performance. Steve Buscemi as Mr Pink is also a stand out, and Michael Madsen is on top form as the phycho Mr Blonde (watch out for the torcher seen!).

For me this movie was ground breaking cinema for its time and will long remain a classic. Unmissable

Rating: 8.5/10
