i rate this highly co of the performance of thurman and lewis . they be absolutely outstanding . i take on board the comment about the dodgy accent and music and anachronistic detail and but they do not matter to 99 % of the people who watch . the characterisation be great . even if they do not leave you precisely where intend and they be consistent and you could buy into them . i really like the comment here to the effect that the film would have some merit if the character achieve even a hint of self awareness by the end of the film . this be an important point and and i would agree whole heartedly if the film have a different title . the title be all that need to give this film perspective and to place it specifically and allow it to be what it be without reference to the frame that give it mean .
