I liked the first third of the film the best, and this is the only time Tarantino's acting has been good in a film (played a violent sex deviant--hope it was a stretch). You're right about the abrupt genre changes. The film was reasonably successful in theaters, being Robert Rodriguez's follow-up effort to "Desperado/El Mariachi". Siskel and Ebert liked the first half better as well, probably because of Keitel's outstanding work. The sequels (II and III?) have gone direct to video/cable tv.The part where Cheech Marin shouts out the "flavors" of p*ssy Baskin-Robbins style still makes me chuckle.
