My wife and I wasted 104 minutes the other night watching this rotten movie. The performances aren't that bad, it's the story and screenplay - which is simply ridiculous. My wife loved the novel, and complained that the story was completely changed. Anyhow, it tries to be a horror story, a comedy, and a romance! - but fails miserably on all levels. I actually felt embarrassed for one of my favorite actors - Aidan Quinn. And what a silly ending!

Do yourself a favor, don't waste you time on this crap.

I love this film, one of my all time favorites. One thing bothers me though. Jules' mis-quoting the bible. I haven't seen anything to highlight his embellishment of Ezekiel. If you care, the verse goes like this:

"I shall perform frightful acts of vengeance & inflict furious punishments on them; & they will know that I am Yahweh, when I exact my vengeance on them."

Nice and simple. Nothing about the paths of righteous man beset by the inequities of good men.

Very well acted and well written. Beautifully filmed, with great music. But a sad tale. I am of Irish lineage, and I can see why my ancestors left Ireland. I wonder how many lives the Roman Catholic Church ruined with their meddling. Aidan Quinn and Moya Farrelly are terrific.
