Film Review - Stealing Pulp Fiction
June 25, 2025
Danny Turkiewicz makes his feature-length directorial debut with “Stealing Pulp Fiction,” which is an adaptation of his 2022 short film. And it probably should’ve remained a short film, as the screenplay doesn’t exactly provide grand ideas worthy of a lengthier screen examination. The story concerns dumb people getting in too deep when electing to collect Quentin Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of “Pulp Fiction,” which is a very strange idea for a movie, but perhaps there’s some madcap potential in the execution of such a weird plan. Turkiewicz tries to mimic Tarantino loquaciousness when it comes to his characters, but there’s just not much here to hang an entire movie on. Efforts to turn the offering into something madcap fail, and the central caper isn’t very striking, forcing the actors to go big to help Turkiewicz find a bit of life in a fairly sedate comedy.
