4 stars (Very Good) Very Tarantino, with sharp-edged pop-reference dialogue, plot twists, and violence aplenty. A low-budget heist classic. ~Tom H
4 stars (Very Good) Sensational, bloody, blackly funny account of a botched robbery and the ensemble of tough-guy criminals who must identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. No shortage of violence, but also unexpectedly moving. ~GenXGirl
3 stars (Good Enough) It makes its intention to be cool painfully clear, referencing pop culture and film trivia every few minutes. Its works in places, but overall it tries far too hard. The soundtrack is excellent though. I've got it on my IPod... ~Wizzums
5 stars (Exceptional) A sort of Glengarry Glen Ross ala John Woo, this maybe immature, but it packs a bigger wallop than anything else Tarantino's made since: tense, shocking, hilarious. Terrific performances all round (indelible soundtrack, too). ~fairbrother
4 stars (Very Good) ~Wyatt Earp
5 stars (Exceptional) My favourite Tarantino movie. ~Catapillar
3 stars (Good Enough) There doesn't seem to be a halfway house with the screenplay - it is either full on action or heavy on dialogue. Not great but there are some memorable segments and the casting and soundtrack are spot on. ~Tubbs
