                                                  Review

This film is very good! But it isnīt quite good as QTīs other films and that is ( I think) is because it is directed by Tony Scott.
The script could also be better (remember it is QT's first script!). It is a bit to much "girl meets boy" over it, but except that it was very good and also very funny.

The acting is, as always, great. The best actor is Gary Oldman who plays Alabamaīs pimp.
The scene where Oldman is kicking Slater while he is making fun of his driving license is excelent...
