Directed by Quentin Tarantino

Produced by Miramax, A Band Apart

1994154 min8.5 / 10

A darkly comic, stylistically audacious crime saga that weaves multiple violent storylines together through nonlinear storytelling, balancing brutal moments with philosophical banter and irreverent humor.

A burger-loving hit man, his philosophical partner, a drug-addled gangster's moll and a washed-up boxer converge in this sprawling, comedic crime caper. Their adventures unfurl in three stories that ingeniously trip back and forth in time.
