Mike Hodges is best known for making tough thrillers like Get Carter and Croupier (1997) which focus on masculinity and criminal behaviour. While Jack Carter was a genuine tough guy, he was an empty shell of a human being. Caine’s iconic performance in that film became part of the naff ‘Cool Britannia’ culture of the 90’s despite being an ice-cold portrayal of a killer who cares about nothing except revenge
On a bus journey to meet his mysterious client Mickey has an awkward conversation with Miller [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a fan of detective novels, who criticises his work. Mickey assumes Miller is the contact who will take him to his client, but Miller claims to be an academic and leaves. At the hotel there is a mix-up with the rooms and Miller stays in the room originally meant for Mickey. Miller also ends up dead and Mickey finds himself up to his neck in the kind of murder plot he likes to write novels about.
Having worked together on Get Carter (1971) director Mike Hodges and star Michael Caine teamed up again for this underrated comedy- thriller. Pulp sees Caine playing Mickey King [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a hack writer specialising in crime fiction. While collecting transcripts of his latest novel, Mickey is approached by Ben(Lionel Stander) and offered a job ghost-writing an autobiography for a client who wishes to remain anonymous.
