Story Synopsis:
As Quentin Tarantino’s debut film is the extremely violent story of perfect strangers brought together by a master gangster to pull off the perfect crime. But when the robbery goes awry, turning into a bloody ambush, the killers realize one of them is a police informer. Strictly an adult movie and not for the squeamish, this brilliant film portrays brutal murders, raw violence and offensive language.
LaserDisc Picture:
The widescreen composition is first-rate. The film to video transfer is true to the 2.35:1 scope composition. Everything looks real and natural with accurate flesh tones and good color fidelity. The filmmakers wanted realism and they have achieved their vision with the look of this film.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack dialogue was recorded on an interior soundstage serving as the principal scene, a warehouse. The sound is distinguished by the natural sound of gunfire. The sense of surround envelopment, however, is not present which could have heightened the reality and repugnance further.
