To me, this movie is perfection.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
... View MorePeople 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.
... View MoreAs someone who considers Pulp Fiction to be one of the best movies ever made, I was looking forward to seeing a movie made by the same writer/director about a group of criminals playing off each other after a heist gone wrong. And when the Dogs are arguing, stressing out, fighting in that werehouse, you can truly see the roots of Tarantino's style, because anything that takes place in that warehouse truly had me hooked. Me White and Mr Pink are definitely the standouts, with both actors giving a brilliant performance and their squabbles feeling realistic and tense. However, the film begins to lose steam once the story begins to flash back, showing dull and uninteresting scenes that feel as if they were only included to get the picture to an hour and a half. These sequences truly drags the movie down as the conversations aren't nearly as compelling, and feel unneeded as they hardly shed any light on the current situation that couldn't have been told through the chafacgers in the werehouse. Ultimately, Reservoir Dogs is passable, and a decent first effort for the genius that is Quentin Tarantino, but it pales in comparison to his later works, as I feel there's nothing here that memorable or interesting.
... View MoreWhat a ridiculous insult to our intelligence. The dialogue is so slow and redundant. I wish I cared about any of these actors. I don't. The action is hard to find and the typical Tarentino violence is annoying. I would watch a cartoon and invest 10 minutes to get some sort of entertainment value. Seriously this is a waste of your time.
... View MoreThis 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
