Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) are hitmen with a penchant for philosophical discussions. In this ultra-hip, multi-strand crime movie, their storyline is interwoven with those of their boss, gangster Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) ; his actress wife, Mia (Uma Thurman) ; struggling boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) ; master fixer Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel) and a nervous pair of armed robbers, Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer).

Critics Consensus

Injecting its compendium of crime tales with the patois of everyday conversation, Pulp Fiction is a cinematic shot of adrenaline that cements writer-director Quentin Tarantino as an audacious purveyor of killer kino.

... A controversial yet award-worthy combination of gorgeous dialogue, genre-literacy, guns and gore.

Chicago Sun-Times

Quentin Tarantino is the Jerry Lee Lewis of cinema, a pounding performer who doesn't care if he tears up the piano, as long as everybody is rocking.

Rated: 4/4

Pulp Fiction may not be perfect (the Butch sequence struggles to reach the heights of the others). However, its highs are among the very best in cinema history.

Rated: 10/10

... a film that twists and turns and double backs on itself with the sheer delight of a narrative magician.
