Review of Pulp Fiction

Review

I think Pulp Fiction is one of Tarantino's most overrated films. That's not to say it isn't a thoroughly enjoyable affair. The film is well cast and I was particularly thrilled to see Bruce Willis back in action, his character is by far my favourite.

The film is literally 'pulp fiction', a series of lurid scenes which eventually evolve into an overall sensationalist plot line. The scenes are roughly glued together in the incorrect order - a Tarrantino trademark of course. The film is extremely memorable and leaves a lasting effect when you watch it. That is to say, it's unforgettable. However, when I watched it I got bored in places. I didn't really care what happened as you don't really feel any lasting attachment to the characters, unlike Reservoir Dogs for example. I am not trying to put a downer on it by any means, but I am utterly shocked at how high this ranks in the IMDb top 250 list. I don't even think it's QT's best film.

7/10

couldn't agree with you more. very good film mostly because of the dialog and some key scenes, but very overrated. killer soundtrack though.
