This is Quentin Tarantino at his finest! Engaging characters; non-stop action; and intricately woven individual stories that produce a mesmerizing whole. The depth of the overall plot is astounding. One minute dark and moody, the next riddled with black comedy and unforgettable utterances that remain noteworthy quotes even into present day. Violence and blood aplenty, rampant drug use, startlingly intense situations- all signature Tarantino. And yet, this film is interspersed with sparkling nuggets of stark morality and unexpected wisdom. John Travolta as Vincent Vega, Samuel L. Jackson as Jules, Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace, and Bruce Willis as Butch are exceptionally complex characters who must learn to survive in an often cold and brutal world that still has hidden gems of humanity at its most basic fineness. Pulp Fiction is a roller coaster ride that will leave you gasping for more!

While it's definitely not the best of Quentin Tarantino's movies, it is one of the most fun, and true to his style of writing. Easily likeable characters, plot twists and turns that be truly unexpected at times, and of course, Tarantino's signature violence, rampant nudity, and bloody gore. If you can suspend your belief in reality for a while, and are able to stomach some rather "icky" vampire exterminations, this is definitely worth the watch, especially to enjoy Clooney's performance as a likeable but bad guy with no sense of morality, which is definitely something rare for him to portray. And Cheech Marin in three different roles is an added treat. It's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. So sit back, relax, and just watch this little flick for the sheer enjoyment of it!
