^^^ Good explanation, think you’ve hit the nail on the head.

I actually like Mark Kermodes film criticism generally, its intelligent and well argued and very entertaining. I dont always agree with his verdicts and in this case I think he’s totally wrong.

Yeah same but I’ve never agreed with Kermode on this one. I’ve noticed that QT haters always express a lot of love for Jackie Brown, which is his least flamboyant and, although well made and acted, least interesting movie. I wonder if he had continued down that route what kind of film he would be making today?
