Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) are hitmen with a penchant for philosophical discussions. In this ultra-hip, multi-strand crime movie, their storyline is interwoven with those of their boss, gangster Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) ; his actress wife, Mia (Uma Thurman) ; struggling boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) ; master fixer Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel) and a nervous pair of armed robbers, "Pumpkin" (Tim Roth) and "Honey Bunny" (Amanda Plummer).

Critics Consensus

Injecting its compendium of crime tales with the patois of everyday conversation, Pulp Fiction is a cinematic shot of adrenaline that cements writer-director Quentin Tarantino as an audacious purveyor of killer kino.

Absolute classic that still holds up as a great theater experience. One of the best parts about going to see classic movies like this is that some of the people were seeing it for the first time. You can imagine their reactions to some scenes lol it was a blast!

Chicago Sun-Times

Quentin Tarantino is the Jerry Lee Lewis of cinema, a pounding performer who doesn't care if he tears up the piano, as long as everybody is rocking.

There's a special kick that comes from watching something this thrillingly alive.

... a film that twists and turns and double backs on itself with the sheer delight of a narrative magician.

Tom Long

Santa Cruz Sentinel

There is a fine madness to writer/director/actor Quentin Tarantino's latest wonderwork, Pulp Fiction, which is certainly one of the most exciting films of the past 20 years and easily the most important film of 1994.

Rated: A+

Boston Phoenix

Unlike his first film, Reservoir Dogs, whose genius lay in its ability to shock and dazzle, Pulp Fiction penetrates the glib surface of style, allusion, and machismo to the murky meaning of these things.
