I can agree - but I don;t think it's a cheap trick to present a film in a nonlinear fashion - there was nothing difficult about following Pulp Fiction and the device was chosen likely for pacing. I also don't think it would work linearly because we would not be able to get a read on the characters as well. Several people in the film are on continuums in their thieving lives. The Tarantino character who is obviously worked away from his prior thieving life - he's the ex con married a nurse away but can be trusted as a safehouse - we have the boxer who isn;t really the crook - until now.Can a film work from the dialog outwards is the key - like I say you either buy into Tarantino's diolog fictitious worlds or you don't. I mean Kill Bill Vol 1 i was watching and literally cringing at how ridiculous and paper thin it seemingly is.
It reminded me of the scene in Pulp Fiction where Uma Thurman was talking about being in a failed pilot when she was in the Fox Force Five - Kill Bill Vol 1 seems to be a film spawned from that scene in Pulp. It was howlingly ludicrous - and yet I came out with a grin. I can;t really explain it and I certainly understand why people loathe everything about it. But not every film needs to be about anything of major importance - which explains perhaps the success of Seinfeld.
