A CLASSIC
For those who are staying away from 'Reservoir Dogs' because they have heard how violent it is, think again. Quentin Tarantino has wrote a breathtaking screenplay with some excellent plot twists and turns and has approach to directing is unique and amazing. 'Reservoir Dogs' is a classic. Our story starts off with a failed heist. Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) and the horribly wounded Mr. Orange (An excellent Tim Roth) escape to the hide out and meet up with Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) to try and figure out what went wrong with the heist. They slowly figure out who is the "rat" through stories of violence and betrayal. This movie is most famous for it's ear cutting scene but it's truly just another scene in the film. When you watch the film all through, the scene doesn't stand out much but still leaves a lasting impression. Of course, the real stand out of this film is the acting. Great actors such as Chris Penn, Michael Madsen and Lawrence Tierney all pop up and entertain us. To prove just how good the acting is: Read the script and then watch the film. The script is entertaining and well written but it is the actors that really bring it to life. Quentin Tarantino has came up with a truly outstanding film that deserves all the praise that it has won over the ten years since it was released. Although Tarantino would go on to direct the superior 'Pulp Fiction' and the even better 'Jackie Brown', this film is his first film and a very impressive one at that.

Reservoir Dogs
This is the greatest crime film ever made. This movie chronicles eight thieves, Mr. White(Harvey Keitel), Mr. Blonde(Michael Madsen), Mr. Orange(Tim Roth), Mr. Pink(Steve Buscemi), Mr. Brown(Quentin Tarantino), Mr. Blue(Eddie Bunker), Nice Guy Eddie(Chris Penn), and big boss Joe Cabot(Lawrence Teirney). From the opening diner scene to the gripping end in the deserted warehouse, this film is action packed. The dialogue is amazing, it fits the criminals like a glove. Steve Buscemi puts in his best performance until Fargo, as the always nervous Mr. Pink. Tarantino blends these interesting characters together beautifully. This is his best work. Harvey Keitel is also amazing, as is Michael Madsen as a psychotic Mr. Blonde. The torture scene featuring Mr. Blonde and a cop taken hostage is always good for a laugh. The highlight however, is Tim Roth's performance. As Mr. Orange, this is his breakthrough role. The interesting flashbacks make the movie somewhat hard to follow, but with a second viewing, it all comes together. I would give this six stars if I could.

Stylized, intelligent--but someone tell Quentin he can't act
To a degree amateurish, but to an equal degree compelling and original, Reservoir Dogs is a stylistic, gritty look at the gangsters of Quentin Tarantino's imagination. The story, such as it is, is the weak point of the film. The strange tale of an undercover cop who tries to bust up a family-sized gangster ring is just plain silly at times. The strong points, however, are many. Each character has a terrific, interesting voice; the dialogue is snappy and artistic; the music choices are inspired. And that infamous "ear" scene? Frankly, it's one of the few scenes that doesn't work. It just comes off as dumb.

Think of Reservior Dogs as the rough sketch for a movie yet to come: Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction is superior in every respect, but it's a treat to see its progenitor.
