I think it has Tarantino's best writing. Unfortunately, it has one extremely racist scene that doesn't really fly today in mixed company. That's the main flaw. You'll know the scene when you see it. You just have to think of the dialogue in that scene as representing the characters, not Tarantino himself.It's also very much for the better that Tony Scott directed it instead of Tarantino. Scott presented the story as a straight-forward narrative with a good ending that delivers on what came before. Tarantino originally wanted to present the story with a fragmented time-line like most of his other films. But having read the original script, it works much, much better as a linear narrative. His fragmented time-line thing works well in Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and other films, but it wouldn't have worked that well with this material. Definitely see it. It's an excellent film. I think it's better than any of his other stuff besides Pulp Fiction.
Its pretty good - QT writing back before he was in love with being, well, QT.
one/third of the way in, i'll say this--it's pretty far from what i expected, though idk if i'd really call it great or anything. also qt really needs an editor or something, the grammar/spelling errors etc. make this look like it was written by a five year old.
