Great, great movie, 27 June 2000
Author: schweetj from usa

This film, Bottle Rocket, is great. It's got one of those great Tarentino-esque feels, but like Boondock Saints isn't a rip-off of the great Tarentino films. BR is entertaining to the very last scene. It keeps you thinking, and the dialogue is incredible. Actually this film may be better than many of Tarentino films. The acting is also great, and the story line is incredibly intricate and involved, any one that loves movies should see this one, and will fall in love with it in a heartbeat.
