Ratings and reviews

I really wanted to like this film, I mean Quentin Tarantino wrote the script, it has to be good, right... Unfortunately, even thought it came out around the same time as Reservoir Dogs, this film seems much more dated. The plot line is good, yet it feels that Christian Slater "overacted" his role a bit much. Plus the intensity between him and Patricia Arquette seemed SO strained. I'm glad I saw it, but I would definitely never see it again...

#1 movie post 1980 in my opinion. Excellent plot, the nobodies are somebody now, and most were decent back then. This is a must watch!

This is one of my all time favorites! I love the story and the title means exactly what it says. Written by one of my top three writer/director Quentin Tarantino, this movie has it all!! great to watch on movie night with your babe and you will both enjoy...action romance scandal need i say more?
