Sinopsis(1)
Mickey King (Michael Caine), es un escritor de historias policíacas de bolsillo que vive apurando los ingresos de su última novela “Mi pistola es larga”. A punto de quedarse arruinado recibe un inesperado encargo muy bien retribuido: escribir la biografía de una ex estrella de Hollywood llamada Preston Gilbert (Mickey Rooney), un personaje en decadencia, mal hablado y con pésimos modales famoso por protagonizar películas de gángsters, además de creerse un verdadero mafioso... ¿Podrá King dar sentido a todas las locuras de Preston sin perder literalmente la cabeza? (Filmin)

Equally original and ingenious as it is unpolished, languishing in its aimless weirdness and with an unusually annoying voice-over that goes on and on, while not saying anything at all. You wouldn’t hear so much meaningless prattle even drinking coffee at a two-day Mills and Boon fans convention. Does the previous sentence seem senselessly convoluted, trying to be funny while saying nothing at all? If so, welcome to the world of Mike Hodges’ Pulp. Only Michael Caine holds it back from toppling over the edge of endurability.

One of the weaker films with Michael Caine, which is especially surprising considering Get Carter, which M.C. made with director Hodges a year earlier. Even so, there are some very funny moments in Pulp (the absurd assassination scene and the subsequent identification of the attackers lead the way), Cain's monologues telling the story are hilariously parodic, and the slightly manic Mickey Rooney is a joy to behold. However, if anyone else had appeared in the lead role, I would definitely not have given three stars.
