"I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good." - Mia

Why watch this? This odd, violent little film is one of QT's best. Plus it's nice to see Travolta dance again.

Plot Summary: This film intertwines the lives of two hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits in a series of interconnected, non-linear stories set in the Los Angeles criminal underworld. The film explores themes of crime, violence, dark humor, and redemption, as the characters face moral dilemmas and unpredictable situations.

Dad's Preview: This crime thriller/dark comedy is creatively arranged, with scenes occurring out of order. It features four stories that are loosely linked. It bounces between jovial, mundane and shockingly violent. All stars give great performances, and Tarantino makes sure that every character has quirks galore. I must add that some of the plot points are disturbing - namely "The Gimp in the basement" segment.
