The first time I saw this movie I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The script, direction and acting are all top notch. I know that some people don't see the big deal about this movie, but it gave the movie industry a big shot of adrenaline. This is the movie that built Miramax studios, but that doesn't matter much now. There is not one wasted moment in this film. I have seen it countless times and it never gets old. Its worth watching just for Sam Jacksons performance alone. And this is easily Ving Rhames most badass performance, as well as Bruce Willis. Can't be outdone.
