...extremely clear about what he wants, but he's not close minded; he's no bully." Travolta says Tarantino trusts actors: "He lets you put all the icing on the cake. For Vincent, I could mock up the hair, the accent, the walk, the talk." The result is a deft portrait of a guy who moves warily and at his own slo-mo pace, as if he needed all his concentration just to stay alive...

Fans of any sport should be able to appreciate the deft footwork necessary to shield a ball from three attackers, or the agile kick that propels a ball on a perfect are to the far post of the goal. Soccer is, after all, just another game that asks for an object to be moved from one side of the field to another.
