Saw this movie in the
theater years ago, and it was my introduction to Tarantino's work. One of Christian Slater's better films, the action aspect of the story is neverending. Walken's 15-minute spot as a
gangster, interrogating Dennis Hopper, is
superb and makes you want to
kiss your hands. Brad Pitt, that lovable pot-head who lives on Michael Rapaport's
couch, amuses me every time I see him holding the
honey bear. Gary Oldman, as the cuddly
pimp named Drexel, offers up his lines hilariously. ("You musta thought it was
white boy day! It ain't white boy day, is it?")
Val Kilmer is also in the movie, although you never really see his
face, since he stars as a slightly hidden
Elvis giving Slater's character pep-talks.
The soundtrack is a great one as well, with music by Hans Zimmer, Nymphomania, Soundgarden, Chris Isaak and more.
