Pulp Fiction is about a cast of vulgar, disgusting characters and their debased lives. This film centers around four different stories; two hit men accidentally shoot preteen informant in the back of their car, a boxer that refuses to throw a fight, and a doped upped hit man takes his drug dealing pimp daddy's coke head wife on a date and a hit man is `saved'. The stories are separate but come together like a bad episode of Seinfeld. Just to be cool and `avant-guard' Tarantino picked up his script and shuffled the pages together, added a thick smattering of pop culture riddled dialogue, and plagiarized every movie ever made.

There is not one redeeming character or idea in this movie. Most hail it as deep, but but that is only because they are shallow. I have questioned many of the film's devotees as to why they like it, but they can scarcely say more than `its cool' or they comment on it being glamourous-$500 cocaine baggies of heroin and $5 milkshakes. On its own terms, the movie is poorly crafted. Its much appraised non-linear story line is nothing new. Orson Wells challenged that institution 50 years ago with Citizen Kane. This doesn't enhance the story at all, except blunting Vincent Vega's (Travolta) pointless demise. He is alive when the credits roll, so he essentially avoids the repercussions of his actions. And finally, Jules' (Jackson) misquoting scriptures and misapplication of the text was highly annoying. Besides, because he `found God', he is absent when his partner needed him the most. So by Tarantino's definition, God is as debased as the characters portrayed in this horrible movie. The only thing that is redeeming in this movie is the soundtrack. Maybe Tarantino should have been a DJ.
