Director Quentin Tarantino rethinks the gangster-movie genre with this modern crime epic, which interweaves four tales from the underbelly of L.A. into a complex and graphic story of betrayal, honor, revenge and forbidden love. Written in Tarantino's trademark nonlinear style, the film has been hailed by critics as " 'The Godfather' of the 1990s." Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Harvey Keitel.
