Reservoir Dogs

Four perfect killers. One perfect crime. Now all they have to fear is each other.

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 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.

Critic Reviews:

• " The wafer-thin plot gets stretched far with smart, nonlinear weaves and a masterful cast crowned by Michael Madsen's trigger-happy psychopath and Lawrence Tierney's amiably gruff head honcho. " – Tom Meek

• " An amazing narrative prodigy that is the story of a spoiled robbery which, right now, I would point out as Tarantino's mas­terpiece. " – Sergio Benítez

• " Tarantino's jum­bling of his chronology and the clever changes of context from the claustrophobic warehouse section to various character origin flashbacks are sly and electric. " – PJ Nabarro
