Pulp Fiction

Some call it a "cult hit". Some call it the best movie of all time. I don't agree with either of them. Pulp Fiction won an Oscar for Best Screen Play and was nominated for 6 others. Most "cult" movies do not achieve this kind of success if they pertain to a cult following. It is also not the best movie of all time. Extremely interesting, funny, exciting, violent, dirty, and foul is how I would describe it. Really nothing else has come close to being such an enigma.

What really makes the movie is the acting:

Samuel L. Jackson - This is probably his most enjoyable/best performance ever, here, as Jules the hitman. His lines are ridiculous at times and at others - deathly serious. But he gives such a stellar performance that you eat it up. You believe him. That is who Jules is. Not Samuel acting like him. That's Jules. Excellent performance.

John Travolta - Also great acting from a guy I was never a fan of. This movie changed my mind. Sure he hasn't done much of anything good since (a few exceptions) but this movie is his legacy. THIS is the movie he will be remembered for. His Vincent Vega is perfect, the best counterpart to Jules you could have asked for. His conversations are great, believable and interesting. Must be seen by a fan and non-fan alike.

Uma Thurman - There is something very understated about her performance. Quiet, out of it, and ready for some excitement, Mia Wallace gets much more than she bargained for with Vincent on their night out on the town. The "out of it" part of her performance stems from her characters drug habit. Great acting to be found here.

The list of famous actors and actresses that had parts in this movie is extremely long. Take a look at the IMDB page posted after the article and take a look. Tim Roth - awesome. Bruce Willis - doesn't pull any punches (haha). Ving Rhames - menacing as always. The list goes on and on.

The great writing is kept up with only through the quick editing and cinematography that accompanies it. The music also oddly aids the movie though it feels out of place in some parts.

Pulp Fiction is so interesting it takes multiple viewings to fully appreciate it. A must see for any film enthusiast.
