Kirk Bage (1775 KP) rated Pulp Fiction (1994) in Movies

Mar 2, 2020 (Updated Mar 3, 2020)

Is Pulp Fiction a gangster film? Well, if you define the genre as a morality tale about organised crime, then yes, it is. Of course, it is so much more than that. There is so much going on in Tarantino’s opus that it can’t be clearly defined – which is obviously part of the appeal. You can try not to enjoy every minute of it, but why bother? Once you are in on that amazing soundtrack, and the interwoven tales so unique it hurts, you are in to the end, no matter how many times you’ve seen it already. Incredible dialogue, naturally; colourful characters everywhere, it goes without saying; violence, remorse, betrayal, guns, cars, a gold watch, a samurai sword and a briefcase. A moment of decision or hesitation has a consequence that plays out in strange and mystical ways – as a theme, that in itself connects it to the gangster / crime genre.

A twist in every chapter

I usually stick to what I know. I have a favourite authors and I to be honest. I'm scared of trying new things when it comes to crime fiction. It's hard to find a good author who keeps you gripped and has a very realistic storyline.
When I saw this book in my local supermarket It was a boredom 'thing'.
I had nothing to read at home that was new and it 'looked' good, and it was.

The storyline gripped me from the very first page. The twists and turns in this book are so well written and linked in with everything going on that you forget how far into the book you have read.
I finished this book in less than 48 hours. Yes 2 days.
A crime unearthed, but who? When? How?

Trust me. This is a great read and I can guarantee that the very last chapter will have you amazed.
