The Movie: Slater works with a
comic book store, on his birthday his boss hires a call girl to make him happy
and sends her to join him while he watches three movies back to back. Initially
he had no idea about her coming to him, they have a good evening after movie,
go out dining and end up making out in his apartment, later she confesses to
him that she is a call girl and he happens to be her fourth customer in first three
days of being a prostitute, and she has fallen in love with him too. Here comes
the twist – they marry the next day and Slater goes off to meet her pimp – Gary
Oldman – so he could get her free. In the turn of the events he is advised by
Elvis (Val Kilmer) to kill the bad guy and set his girl free, in an amazing
scene of shooting each other – he ends up killing Gary and picks up a bag thinking
it belongs to Patricia. That turns out to be a bag full of half a million worth
uncut cocaine. And the game of cat and mouse hunt starts.

It’s an amazing thriller this
point onwards as you know that they wont be left alone with that bag full of cocaine
and sooner then later will get caught either by cops or bad guys, who are on
his lookout. They go to his dad’s house – who he was meeting after so many
years – his dad (Dennis Hopper) lends them some money and they set off on their
honeymoon to LA. To catch up with his old friend who is a Hollywood
struggler stays with his room mate (Brad Pitt). Every ten minutes you end up
being introduced to a new character who gets involved with them later to be
screwed by either cops or bad guys. It’s a typical Quentin Tarantino fare with
all the elements showing his shadow all around, may it be the excellent
background score with songs from Elvis or Aerosmith, or the discussions between
the gangsters and the people they are torturing to know the location of their
cocaine, I mean there is a scene where Chris Walken is about to kill Dennis
Hopper as he has hardly any idea of his son’s location and they end up
discussing about Chris’s ancestors, knowing that he will be shot shortly – he
does asks for a cigarette and smokes it peacefully before being shot and killed
finally. One hell of a signature killing – QT style. It is such a smooth ride
and casual movie that you totally get engrossed and hooked to it big time, it
shocks you with its violence, blood, gore and shooting scenes but never goes
over board. The climax is totally rocking scene with so many characters and
everything coming to a close ending in a fantastic finale with unbelievable end
to all the drama.
