| The
film starts with two people (Amander Plummer and Tim Roth) discussing
robbery in a restaurant, and then they rob the restaurant.We then
get to the four stories. In the first story, Travolta and Jackson
are excellent as two hitmen who have to kill some kids who haven't
been following their bosses orders. It's horribly violent, yet wickedly
funny at the same time, and actually quite scary. The second story
concerns Travolta taking out the bosses wife, played by Uma Thurman.
Unfortunatley for him, she has a drug overdose, and he has to try
and get her back. Again, it's another funny story, and well acted
again. The third story concerns a boxer, Bruce Willis, trying to get
back his gold watch (although there's a lot more to it than that),
and the final story is continuing what happens at the start of the
film, with Travolta and Jackson trying to control Plummer and Roth.
It's another tense scene, still funny, but terrifying. It's a masterpiece
of direction and acting. |
