| "I'm the Anti-Christ. You get me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you." I've read that line in JoBlo's profile and I wondered who could pull it off and now I know - only one man, Christopher Walken. I'm cursing myself for not watching it earlier as I am a big fan of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Firstly, the cast is spectacular.. Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini, Brad Pitt, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Sizemore, Val Kilmer.. Every scene, there was someone instantly recognizable and they all put in great performances. The dialogue was top-notch, what do you expect from Tarantino? There was a homage to old school Kung-fu movies which the two lead characters loved and many of the fight scenes are filmed in a similar way.. stylish and slick. And the ending was staggering.. similar to Reservoir Dogs but on a larger scale and more unpredictable. Christ, I loved this film. From the opening scenes to the last shot.. it was a wild rollercoaster ride. Fast-paced, vulgar, very violent and incredibly entertaining.. just the way I like it. 10 out of fucking 10. |
