Overlooked Gem in the Michael Caine Catalog!!, Feb 23 2008
By Paul Maul - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pulp (DVD)
This is actually one of my Favorite Michael Caine films; a Gleeful send up of Pulp Fiction/Paperback writers and Grade Z Crime Films....The film begins on a great tongue in cheek note; with Michael Caine's dry as a bone writer's narration juxtaposed with a pitch perfect George Martin/Euro /Morricone Score; setting the scene....Caine plays Mickey King; Paperback Pulp Fiction Sleazoid Writer; living a layabout life in tropical exile on the island of Malta.... And suddenly; He gets pulled into a labrynthine murder mystery ; involving exiled Mobsters and Illegal Masonic Lodge goings on....... Basically; it's One Big Shaggy Dog Story; and if you are willing to take the ride; it's quite an entertaining diversion....Great Malta locations; Awesome acting support from Mickey Rooney and Lizabeth Scott make for a nice bout of Cinematic Escapisim...Michael Caine Really seems to be enjoying not taking himself too seriously here!!

Unknown, underrated, Sep 23 2010

This review is from: Pulp (DVD)
There are most likely many Michael Caine aficionados out there who may be familiar with this movie, but I was not. I am, of course, familiar with the previous outing by this same team (Producer Michael Klinger and Writer-Director Mike Hodges), Get Carter. While Get Carter was the prototypical gritty British crime drama, this film takes things in another direction and becomes a flat-out black comedy. True to Caine's character's profession as a writer of amoral, violent, sexually charged pulp fiction, the film likewise takes its characters on a similar meandering journey. Caine is near-brilliant as a particular type of British tough-guy. He comes off as all charm and international flair, until he gets into a conversation that bores him, at which point he often becomes testy and down-right nasty, but with a smile and a low-key attitude. And Mickey Rooney is amazing as, what else, a spoiled former Hollywood big-shot. Think James Cagney, but with George Raft's real-life mob connections. Rounding out the cast are Hollywood veteran Lionel Stander, film noir star Lizbeth Scott, a pre-Godfather Al Lettieri, Humphrey Bogart lookalike Al Saachi, and Italian actress Nadia Cassini, who is not so much a good actress as she is beautiful to look at. The music is by George Martin and has that perfect blend of style and atmosphere, as does the backdrop of the whole affair, the isle of Malta. This movie really is a gem, and I am thrilled to have found it.

The movie "PULP" is not one of Michael Cains better films. but being a fan of his I watched it any way, its what I do. acting was not bad. story line weak, but over all I can only give it a one star rating for I probably will not watch it again, to many other better movies to watch again and again. With that being said I am a DVD collector and there it will go, into my collection. The one good note is that I got a good price on amazon so no real money pain.
