Haven't seen it. Don't care for Tarantino's stuff. Too much work just to watch his movies. The guy could probably do some great work but he seems completely caught up in style over substance - shock over story. "I don't have a real story, so I'll just make the movie so violent and bloody that people will actually vomit in the theater - it'll be awesome".

The non-linear timeline of Pulp Fiction was interesting, but not when it's every damn scene. I don't want to have to work that hard. Again - not enough story to tell, so he just hacks-up the timeline, adds ridiculous amounts of blood and over-the-top violence - style over substance.

I see where you're coming from, but you may still enjoy "Reservoir Dogs" anyway. It's still somewhat non-linear, but not nearly to the extent of Pulp Fiction. Basically, it's a bunch of robbers/killers committing a jewel heist, only you only see the aftermath of the heist. The majority of the movie takes place in a warehouse where all these guys (about 5 or 6 in all) meet and try to figure out if someone set them up, and if so, who? Is it violent? Sure. But it's more of a "less is more" type violence, where the majority of it happens off-screen. Although I enjoy Tarantino's movies, RD is the only one I can watch repeatedly.

In the movie, Steve Buscemi (Mr. Pink) hijacks a car much in the same way that I hijacked this thread.
