The non-linear disjointed sequence of events and three parallel interconnecting story lines make for necessary repeat viewing, as you are likely to be confused on your first viewing.... you need to exercise your Tarantino cerebral muscles, as you are not likely to have used them anytime before.

This movie resurrected John Travolta's career, made Samuel L.Jackson the koolest cat on the block, made Bruce Willis convincingly art house, made movie soundtracks sell.

And what was in the suitcase? Highlight the following if you wanna know...... In greek mythology the Soul is removed from the back of the neck thus explaining the bandage on the back of Marcelus' neck and the 666 code on suitcase lock.
