Film #85: Pulp Fiction (1994)


Directed by: Quentin Tarantino


Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis


Where do I start with this one? I'll do this review out of chronological order just like the movie.

98%

Quite possibly the greatest film ever made.

The story follows multiple characters in their everyday lives of gangsters and organized crime.
The start of the film sees "Pumpkin" and "Honey Bunny", a couple who need money, attempt to rob a diner. After that, it shows all the separate stories of the characters.
Vincent Vega (Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Jackson) are two gangsters working for Marsellus Wallace. They have to retrieve a suitcase from some guys and bring it back to Wallace.
Mia Wallace (Thurman) is Marsellus' wife and Marsellus has instructed Vincent to look after her and take her out for dinner.
Butch Coolidge (Willis) is a boxer being paid by Wallace to take a dive, he betrays him and decides to take the money for himself.
All the characters intertwine together somehow and by the end of the film (which ends with the start with pumpkin and honey bunny), everything is made clear.

I picked this movie up after watching it at my dad's house last year. I got it for about £3 off Play and I've seen it about a million times since.
