Reservoir Dogs

I still remember the first time I saw this movie, a midnight showing at my local cinema, absolutely blew me away, this is an outstanding film, one of the best debuts by any director ever. Just rewatched a=gain tonight and evrything is top notch, obviously we have tarantinos excellent writing, how the film does not follow in a chronologicl order, his brilliant direction, but also we have some outstanding performances, every actor is fantastic in this, right down to Oficer Marv.

What Tarantino was able to accomplish here with such an obvious low budget is incredible. The story is so simple, most of the time is spent in one location, and yet this film is so captivating. Six criminals are hired by crime boss to pull off a heist. We do not know any details of the heist other than that the criminals are looking to steal valuable diamonds. Now if this story was told chronologically, it would be rather boring. However, the way that Tarantino plays with time makes for a rather suspensful movie.

When we are first introduced to the criminals there is not much that differentiates them. They all wear similar clothing and are eating a meal together at a diner. Slowly we are able to gather pieces of information about the characters based off this ten minute opening scene. For example, we learn that Mr. Pink is sort of a smart-ass as he refuses to pay a $1 tip. We see more of this from him later in the "Mr. Pink" scene. With the exception of Mr. Orange, the guys seem to be offly relaxed, so we can gather that they are confident the heist they are about to pull off is going to go as planned. Fast-forward to after the credits and we see this is not the case.


Through flashbacks we slowly learn about the four main criminals. Through these flashbacks coupled with the scenes in the warehouse we are slowly able to put together the pieces of the story.

Fantastic movie!

wowi it’s been a long time since ive written a review

Anyways, where were we?

Reservoir Dogs is definitely a classic film, no doubt about that. It’s pretty easy to see how this film was Tarantino’s start, as well as the movie that put him on the map, so to speak. While it isn’t by any means what made him achieve cult status (I like to think _that_ was Pulp Fiction), it still oozes with that Tarantino charm we all know and love.

So, to sum up my thoughts since I’m not really known for doing huge, in depth reviews, I thought this film was pretty good! The way that the movie constantly shifts perspectives of our protagonists works solely in the film’s favor, especially when we get to that twist near the end, which I wouldn’t dare spoil for any of you who haven’t seen it. The small bit of action we get in the movie is a treat, and of course the dialogue is amazing. But that’s expected from any Tarantino movie, even his first.

9.3/10

"Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy? Or, are you gonna bite?

I use to dislike this movie as I was too young for it, but now on a second watch years later, I absolutely loved it. I really have evolved as a specie.

The dialogue, acting, directing, music and the ending. What's not to like.

Also major praise to Tim Roth, who spends most of the movie on the floor dying and crying in pain while drenched in fake blood.
