PULP FICTION (1994)

Most might be familiar with this film especially if you’re a Tarantino fan. To those who don’t have any idea what this movie is all about, it mostly revolves around two hit men (Samual L.

This film is a roller coaster ride because of its non-chronological order of scenes. So, if you’re not fond of such, this might not be your cup of tea. Nevertheless, this should not stop you from watching it.
