Pulp Fiction (1994)

Pros: Solid acting leads this sort of bizarre and tragic film as many characters die or something super bizarre happens to them. Vincent (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) survive jumping some foolish drug dealers who thought they could rip off their boss, Marcellus (Ving Rhames), an accidental killing in their car, then a diner hold-up before Jules decides to leave the business just because he survives some gunshots that should have killed him. Vincent continues on, nearly causing Marcellus's wife, Mia (Uma Thurman) to overdose before he's shot coming out of the bathroom. Only some characters get the ending they deserve.

Cons: Despite the brilliance of this film and relatively diverse casting, none of these characters (save maybe Mia and Fabienne (Maria de Medeiros) are actually good characters with decent morals though both of them are with men who are abusive, Marcellus to others, Butch (Bruce Willis) is verbally abusive to Fabienne. Yet, the film remains a masterpiece.

Recommend: Though there is a lot violence, physical abuse and drug use, yes, though it should come with a trigger warning.

Grade: A-

Side Notes:

-The best scene, bar none, is the dancing scene in the odd 50s diner with Vincent and Mia.

-The rape scene is the most disturbing, of course. 

-Butch does get his watch back, killing Vincent in the process.

-Also, you should always take your weapon with you to the bathroom.

-It is theme of something happening while Vincent goes to the bathroom.

-We never really learn what is in Marcellus's briefcase. It is part of the mystery.
