Return

rented Frogs for Snakes which purported to be a Pulp Fiction style thriller. eh, not so much. the opening scene was very good and gave me high hopes, but the rest of the movie didn't live up to it.

this movie centers on "collectors" for the mob ... that don't kill ... that all they want to do is .... um, act. yes, they act and shoot people to get onstage and such in real life. if this is what it takes, then i'm thinking it's not worth it.

anyway, this film takes way to long to get to the end and in between are a lot of quirky Tarantino-esque bits, but not enough to satisfy me. it tried to mimic the laid back style and blurrly morals of Pulp - and thank god they stopped just before they presented the movie out of chronological sequence.

in short, if you want a Pulp Fiction style movie - rent Pulp Fiction again - it, at least, stands up to repeat viewings.
