It’s only Pulp Fiction-esque in that it’s really weird and it’s about crime.
It’s not told in anywhere near the same way, it’s not nearly as quirky and it’s much more based on actions than on symbolism and interestingly meaningless dialogue.
It’s also not laughably over-rated as a landmark of American cinema, which is appropriate.
I’d take this over Pulp. At least I don’t have to watch Travolta dancing again.
Grade: B+
6/3/12: Ok, I wouldn’t take it over Pulp. But Tarantino should be reviled for revitalizing Travolta’s career. He should have picked Andy Garcia…he shows here why he’s more worthy. Grade: B
