Pulp Fiction

Writer-director Quentin Tarantino revisits the seedier side of Los Angeles--following 1992’s RESERVOIR DOGS--with this funny‚ violent‚ tongue-in-cheek tribute to the less "classic" side of filmmaking--the potboilers and capers‚ the Blaxploitation flicks and gangster movies. The film interweaves three tales‚ told in a circular‚ fractured manner‚ which only fully connect by the time the final credits roll. The first story focuses on Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson)‚ two hit men on duty for "the big boss‚" Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames)‚ whose gorgeous wife‚ Mia (Uma Thurman)‚ takes a liking to Vincent. In the second‚ a down-and-out pugilist (Bruce Willis)‚ who is ordered to take a fall‚ decides that there’s more money in doing the opposite. The final chapter follows a pair of lovers (Amanda Plummer and Tim Roth) as they prepare to hold up a diner.
