One of the best things about Pulp Fiction is its unique style of storytelling. It's about four different stories all interwoven together, connected by the same characters which bounce in and out of each one. The stories, in a nutshell, are about two hitman who have to retrieve a briefcase, a couple robbing a restaurant, a gangster having to take out his boss' wife, a boxer who refuses to throw the fight, and the problems the two hitmen run into afterwards.
