The Tarantino-penned crime caper lacks the catchphrases, Biblical recitations, and Big Kahuna Burgers of the 1994 classic, but it retains cool in abundance
, this is ostensibly a love story. The central romance is pleasantly endearing even though, in crime films, love isn’t cool. Likewise, Clarence isn’t a cold, foot massage-giving hitman, he’s a dork who lives above a comic book store. He isn’t a ‘bad motherfucker’ but wants nothing more than to be one.
Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman and Dennis Hopper are suitably hard-boiled in their respective roles as mobster, pimp and retired cop/Clarence’s father. The purposefully problematic scene of Hopper squaring up to Walken and his men is one of the most brutally offensive monologues committed to film. The final shoot-out is a masterclass set piece, and an early James Gandolfini makes a terrifying henchman.It doesn’t have the catchphrases, the soundtrack, and there isn’t a gimp in sight.
