Movie Info

A year after Get Carter (1971), director Mike Hodges and star Michael Caine reunited for this comic crime thriller. Caine stars as Mickey King, a writer of cheap paperback detective novels, living in Rome and cranking one noir book after another. King is approached by Ben Dinuccio (Lionel Stander) and offered an abnormally large sum to ghost write the autobiography of a mystery celebrity. The intrigued King agrees and is transported to a remote island where he meets his subject, Preston Gilbert

Hodges avails himself of the private-eye genre's deaths, sex and homophobia, yet comedy loosens his nihilism

Director Mike Hodges reunited with his "Get Carter" star Michael Caine for this follow-up, a lighthearted take on the genre...

A sempre presente narração em off é um dos muitos problemas do filme - especialmente se considerarmos que o narrador é justamente um escritor medíocre.

Audience Reviews for Pulp

I caught this on TV, and I didn't understand it at all, then I saw it again from the beginning, and I still couldn't quite understand what was all going on. This movie is confusing and stupid. I wouldn't recommend this movie.

Ordinary crime caper with the conceit of trying to bring pulp novel conventions to screen with only middling results. Lizabeth Scott has a small secondary role here, her last screen appearance.
