Tarantino (Dipped In It)


Did anyone notice that this was like a reunion of Tarantino stars. Tim Roth and Chris Penn. This time it's a role reversal. Roth is now suspect as the hood and Penn is now the cop. Both film's deal with just the simple area, the room with the polugraph and Dogs with the wherehouse. Not to mention Michael Parks as the shrink from KB and FDTD. Michael Rooker was cool, but it would have been interesting to see Madsen in that role. The film was interesting and had me at some points. It just seemed to be a blender of 90's great films. Guys revolving around second guessing each other: Resevoir Dogs. Interrogation Room ramblings: Usual Suspects. Two brothers writing and direction a somewhat film noir: Wachowski Brother's BOUND. This film was okay, I had wanted to see it for a little under a decade. Ever since the film-maker brothers guested on "Tonight Show with Jay Leno." It reaches a bit too much. Roth was great and how he could shake and then in a drop of a dime freeze. He was a little more believeable and a little better in Planet of the Apes as a monkey.

Yeah, Right.
It's so bad that Tarantino wan't involved at all, or was he?, eith 2001, The Godfather, Apocalipse Now, Singing in the Rain and Lawrence of Arabia.
All of them would have been a lot better wiyth him as Director in Chief.

Not at all. Kubrick and Coppolla did a great job with 3 out of the 5 you listed, plus he wasn't even born yet during some of those.
I was just sputtering my disappointment in the film I so badly wanted to see and noticed nuances of so many other films this just work as a hybrid of them all...

You spelled Apocalypse Now wrong.

And Rosanna Arquette.
