Viewing Notes

Revisited this for the first time in a long time after buying the BluRay. Looks great on Blu.

Not Tarantino’s best movie, but certainly under appreciated. There’s a lot to like here, especially the all the minor performances by De Niro and Bridget Fonda. Samuel L. Jackson steals the show, but both Forster and Grier acquit themselves nicely and have good chemistry.
