The movie feels like it's going to be terrific, but Tarantino's script doesn't have much curiosity about these guys. Full Review
Remarkable macho crime caper that is at once violent, sickeningly funny and utterly compelling. Full Review
Those who survive it emerge in a shell-shocked euphoria -- so good and so blunt is the writing. Full Review
Modestly budgeted crime movie of sometimes dazzling cinematic pyrotechnics and over-the- top dramatic energy. Full Review
Grabs the viewer by the lapels and shakes hard, but it also is about nothing other than a bunch of macho guys and how big their guns are. Full Review
Tarantino exploits audience savvy, preferring to build anticipation, mesmerise, and then cut away at the climax. Full Review
