A good movie

I remember very well when this movie was released. At the time, there was quite some buzz about it. Indeed, back then, Quentin Tarantino was suddenly the hottest thing in Hollywood and it was his second feature length screenplay (his first one was ‘True Romance’). Indeed, following his new success with ‘Reservoir Dogs’, Tarantino was a hot property and everything he had done before was quickly released to profit from the hype as much as possible. Still, the script was rewritten so much by Oliver Stone, producer Richard Rutowski and screenwriter David Veloz that eventually the finished film beared little resemblance to Tarantino's original script. Anyway, how was the movie itself? Even though it was really controversial when it was released and even though it was obvious they tried to make a 90’s version of ‘Clockwork Orange’, I don’t think it was really that amazing. Don’t misunderstand me, I thought it was still a pretty good movie and I enjoyed the kinetic directing but, to be honest, even though Stone is pretty clever, he is not Kubrick and I thought that Mickey and Mallory were rather shallow and not really interesting. To conclude, in my opinion, it is actually far from being a real masterpiece but it is still a pretty good flick though.
