Watch Reservoir Dogs For Free

Sick Product of a Sick System

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

People said it draws inspiration from city on fire, but inspiration is to inspired a film that should deliver some sort of originality that sepereates the two. Reservoir dogs uses all the important plot point and just switch minor detail for western audiences minus the actions. If you seen one you basically seen the other.

Tarantino made a near masterpiece in this clever non linear screenplay over an unusual gangster's story which have a strong graphic violence,starting all them introducing in a dinner where all member talking about a tip,shown how each one thinking in this previous meeting before the diamond's robbery,some ideas are rip off from past movies,like the names of the gang,Orange,Pink,White and so on,but how he'll telling the story is really an original approach that happen in the bloody warehouse,the final scene is remarkable and unique in this genre, then Quentin Tarantino reach so quickly in a top level as newcomer most promising young filmmakers in Hollywood after this independent picture,the remaining is history only!!!Resume:First watch: 1998 / How many: 3 / Source: Cable-TV-Blu-ray / Rating: 9

RELEASED IN 1992 and written/directed by Quentin Tarantino, "Reservoir Dogs" is a crime drama/thriller about a diamond heist gone disastrously wrong in Los Angeles wherein the surviving thugs bicker back-and-forth in a warehouse about which of their members is a police informant. The main thieves are played by Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen and Chris Penn while Lawrence Tierney appears as the old salt mastermind.This was Tarantino's first feature film, costing only $1,200,000, and it has quirky glimmerings of future greatness, as seen in "Pulp Fiction" (1994), "Jackie Brown" (1997), "Kill Bill" (2003/2004), "Inglourious Basterds" (2009) and "Django Unchained" (2012), but "Reservoir" didn't work for me. It's hampered by a low-budget vibe, which I can handle, but not the uninteresting lowlife characters, their self-made conundrum, their interminably dull dialogue and the one-dimensional setting where about 80% of the story takes place in an old warehouse, not to mention no females in the main cast.Still, it's interesting to observe Tarantino's first serious stab at filmmaking and it has its moments of genuine entertainment. It's a lesson on humble beginnings, which shows potential while not being up to snuff.THE FILM RUNS 1 hour, 39 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles & Burbank.GRADE: C-

This movie was Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut and is considered to be one of the best directorial debuts ever. You could tell he was destined for greatness. It's also easy to say that this was Steve Buscemi's best role. Like his later film "Pulp Fiction", it's told in an nonlinear form of storytelling. The final scene is still the final scene unlike that movie. The best scene is probably at the beginning with the tipping argument.Mr. Blonde is a complete sadist, yet he thinks it's immoral to not tip waitresses. I had seen bits and pieces of this movie before. It's certainly great, but not uh, one of the best movies ever made? I always want to see films in the Top 250. This movie tells the story of a diamond heist gone wrong. One of the six men involved is believed to be a snitch, but I won't spoil the rest of it. ***1/2
