...is an experience, though it may not be one that all people can enjoy equally. This struck me as a
very male movie, and in particular it appeals directly to the evil twelve-year-old boy that lurks just beneath the surface of every member of the bad half of the species.
There's never been a movie that was more like a comic book, not even the original
Batman. In case you missed the FilmRot comic-to-screen comparison from the other day, click

The film owes its structure to
Pulp Fiction, and like
Pulp Fiction the movie drags a little bit in the subplot most disconnected from the main arc. But all-in-all the tripartite structure holds together very well. It definitely feels like one movie, not three.
If you think you might enjoy it, see it, if only to try and figure out which scene Quentin Tarantino guest directed. (Answer
here. We might have known.)
