Not great, not terrible. Ending is pretty tense but otherwise not bad. Everything it did Natural Born Killers did better two years later
My go to recommendation as the best movie that most haven't seen/heard of. One of my favourites
This film oozes Tarantino. Star studded cast and James Gandolfini’s big scene in this movie landed him the role of Tony Soprano.
Tarantino's quirky characters (immense cast) are sexy and violent. A crime-romance not soon forgotten. Great script!
Star studded wild romp with clear Tarantino attributes. A bit over the top (not always in satisfying ways). Good but not great.
A QT penned Tony Scott directed rom-com? Yes please. It rules. Walken-Hopper scene is legendary
Tarantino's early scripts that he didn't direct have weird tonal issues, but the direct and sweet direction this film takes works 100%.
Some riveting scenes but editing does not help it stand out as a cohesive whole. Walken & Hopper stand out.
One of my favourite films for a while now! Always enjoy & rewatch often. Great soundtrack - you’re so cool is my fav!
If punk rock & grunge had a baby in movie form... Balls to the wall 90's style action mixed w/ unforgettable dialogue. 'You're so cool'
