Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut, RESERVOIR DOGS, is a brutally funny, supercharged introduction to his supremely distinct cinematic vision, which was...
more...later to become one of the most mimicked styles of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pull off a jewelry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediately clear that the plan backfired, forcing the survivors, who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse, to figure out if one of them is, in fact, a police informer. The crew--Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), a psychopathic parolee; Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), a bickering weasel; and Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn), Joe's son--begin to unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.
Tarantino takes liberally from Hong Kong action flicks, most notably Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE, but his ultra-hip '70s soundtrack and hysterical pop culture dialogue make the film seem wholly original and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave--most notably Jean-Luc Godard--RESERVOIR DOGS remains one of the decade's most influential motion pictures.

Four perfect killers. One perfect crime.
Review of Reservoir Dogs (Special Edition) by shister_not

Advantages: Great dialogue, fantastic storyline
Disadvantages: Some may not like the violence

...in pain after being shot. Reservoir Dogs describes the events that unfold after a botched attempt to rob a jewellery store. There's a snitch, the question is: Who is it? Reservoir Dogs most certainly deserves the credit that it is given. It challenges the common representations of "bad guys", bad people who talk about what bad people do. One of the first conversations depicted is not about some crime committed but about the songs of Madonna. Tarantino's ... Read review

Review of Reservoir Dogs (Special Edition) by mattdoble

Advantages: Lots and lots of violence
Disadvantages: Not as good as i thought it would be

I brought this film after hearing all good reports on it. Everyone seemed to say it was great and with Quentin Tarintino directing i guessed it would be. After watchin this however i was disapointed. Its all set in a warehouse after a robbery. One of the team have been shot and is dying on the floor and they have one police man tied up in a chair. Unfortunatly you get to see none of the action from the robbery and the film has a short story. The high ... Read review
