Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, and Steve Buscemi. © 1992. Miramax Films and Live America. Directed by Quentin Tarantino. Watched it on HBO Max
Quick Review: The film that made Tarantino a legendary filmmaker. This film was fantastic due to its amazing performances and writing. There are a lot of great elements that make this film truly special as an independent film. The story is well written with a lot of great hidden elements to keep the story fresh and suspenseful. The characters are hilarious and fantastic. Steve Buscemi is the main standout in the film and his action scene was flawless. It felt real and kept me engaged in his character arc. The other main characters were very entertaining and it's funny that Tarantino's own character gets killed. While it takes place in one location, it goes to several small locations to give each character time to connect with them. I really like that idea and it goes back into the present where everyone is stressed the fuck out. The dancing scene was literally peak Tarantino cinema and the scene was directed beautifully. With just $1 million dollars, Tarantino pulled off a bloody story that could've been a cheap action film. But he utilizes serious indie drama, bloody action, and well-written characters to do the job. The violence felt real and the characters were memorable and you actually care what's going to happen next. The ending is sad but it's an ending that you are glad exists at the same time. The bloody violence is just perfection and it's a tradition that Tarantino used ever since. The cinematography is very great for a low-budget film and the editing is top-notch by giving every cut and scene to breathe and letting the film flow with the characters' emotions. The directing is absolutely amazing and overall, this film is a blast. This is the film that made Tarantino, the "Quentin Tarantino". Plus, the huge spark of Sundance and more independent films following the footsteps of this amazing film. With just a limited budget, he pulled off every filmmaking element like a piece of cake. I really had a good time watching this cast just being professional and being stupid at a job that was supposed to be easy but ended with death and guilt. Now Streaming on HBO Max.
