Elmore Leonard: Rum Punch

Semmi különös, mégis működik. Csillagos ötös párbeszédek, jól megformált karakterek, feszes történet. Tarantino-film* lett belőle, és nincs magyarul: felfoghatatlan!

Bread said the Mag his customer wanted had a seven and a half-inch full lug barrel on it, whatever the fuck that meant. Was this the one? Cujo asked was he suppose to bring a ruler with him breaking in a house to measure the weapon with? Bread said, „No, man, you don't need a ruler.” He said, „You know how long your bone is, don't you?
