This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It had no real point to it. Just another movie about a job gone wrong where everybody dies. The dialogue was one of the least impressive things about it... It was awkward and unconvincing, despite being acted by decent actors. I couldn't see the film as an unfolding story, I could only see it as Tarantino's writing. I think that seeing dudes screaming and covered in blood was supposed to cloud people's judgement with shock. The fact that the actors were good made everybody assume that the rest of the movie was good. I am an empathetic person who doesn't like violence, but even I couldn't see this as "brutal". All I saw were actors with red crap on them making hurting noises. I didn't buy it.

I loved Pulp Fiction, and I had high hopes for this movie, and I was very disapointed. Upon seeing the credits roll, I said one thing out loud:
"That was retarded."

Maybe I'm not 'getting' the movie, maybe I need to see it again, but for the time being I'm giving it a thumbs down.

Premier film de Tarantino et déjà... de la merde ! on y retrouve en effet tous les tics et les obsessions compulsives obsessionnelles du réalisateur pédant qui fait toujours son intéressant et tente désespérément d'attirer l'attention...Premier film de Tarantino et déjà... de la merde ! on y retrouve en effet tous les tics et les obsessions compulsives obsessionnelles du réalisateur pédant qui fait toujours son intéressant et tente désespérément d'attirer l'attention...

Déjà donc le bavardage intempestif permanent du début à la fin de tous ces branques qui n'arrêtent pas de jacter, tout ça pour raconter de la merde. Comme d'habitude, le film ne raconte rien à vrai dire ou si peu que ça revient au même : c'est comme un big mac, quand tu l'as bouffé, t'as l'impression d'avoir rien bouffé. Et là, c'est pareil, on a l'impression d'avoir rien vu... peut-être parce qu'on s'est endormi devant ce tissu de conneries qui s'est retrouvé en plus dans le mauvais sens : une tare typiquement tarantineuse de tout raconter dans le désordre pour faire "genre". Enfin, la lenteur encore une fois typique de Tarantino... si le film fait largement moins de 2h, il ne fait que meubler et jacasser, car il n'a même pas la matière pour en tirer davantage qu'un gros quart d'heure comestible

Un film résolument à chier, annonciateur de la filmographie abrutissante du réalisateur le plus surcoté tous les temps.

I heard a lot of praise about this movie, but just can't understand why it's so well received. The movie is long, drawn out, and almost intentionally low budget. Simply stated, the ending was just terrible. Like I wasted my time watching it.I heard a lot of praise about this movie, but just can't understand why it's so well received. The movie is long, drawn out, and almost intentionally low budget. Simply stated, the ending was just terrible. Like I wasted my time watching it. Nothing about this movie kept me wanting to watch it, and there's nothing that hasn't been done better in another film. Take another robbery movie, like "Heat," for example. Better soundtrack, better cast, a better tension building story without anything important left out due to low budget constraints, (Tarantino couldn't even afford an actual robbery scene in this movie) better character development and presentation, better action, memorable dialogue that fit into the story very well, and had purpose. Scenes that were necessary for the plot and understanding the characters better and what drives the characters aside from "I want money and I'm angry/mentally ill." Expand
