Review Detail

Focusing the story down on Butch and Marcellus was a great move! It made me realize exactly how much the plot was driven by Butch specifically.

While the original movie has a lot of fun side plots that go nowhere (most of them centered around Vincent Vega), here the entirety of all the side plots boils down to "Vincent talks to Butch and then dies in the bathroom," for a total of 1min of screen time. Mia is almost completely removed except for a quick hello. It's a genius cut, and it makes the hour fly by.

This is in my Top 3 Tarantino Tales, along with Reservoir Dogs and Death Proof, and well deserved!
