• Cheap, Low-budget movie
  Having watched this movie for the first time in ten years (yesterday-June '08), I was blown away by its brilliance and power. Lets get down to the brass tacks- this is a low-budget movie and it has the patina of a cheap amateur production. First movie from the big-chin Quentin Tarantino who came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with this breath of fresh air.

• For me, less than meets the eye
  I don't get the passionate admiration this movie seems to evoke. My take was that two thirds of it was a very good, interesting film, but a third of it was just self conscious direction with a lot of the hip ultra-violence. I liked Lawrence Tierney, Chris Penn, Michael Madsen and Steve Buscemi a lot, especially Penn (although I didn't recognize him at first). The premise was interesting.
  But then I kept bumping against items like these (which may be spoilers):
