A great film that should have eclipsed Pulp Fiction, 17 April 2003
9/10
Author: berch from San Diego, CA

Though Pulp Fiction (which Avary co-wrote) has been viewed as the prime example of its genre, Killing Zoe actually does it better. There are numerous reasons for my opinion, the most significant being the much more interesting casting (which created incredible character nuance) and the setting of the film (a mysterious and unseen version of Paris which has much more fascinating urban facets than the LA of Pulp Fiction). If you haven't seen it yet... check it out. If you've seen it and dismissed it, check it out again. Either way -- it's a great ride.
