What It Is: A glorious Tarantino film about a group of criminals dealing with a robbery gone very, very bad.Why I Watched It: Cause it's fucking awesome!
What I Thought: Intensely enjoyable, as always. The movie is filled with violence and profanity in all the best ways, but the coolest thing is that all the blood is just color to a film that's really about trust.
Six men gather for a diamond robbery, but the cops show up too early and a blood bath ensues. The majority of the movie takes place at the rendezvous spot after the robbery with the men desperately trying to determine how it all went wrong. Obviously, one of them is working with the cops, but which one?
Reservoir Dogs features some super slick performances by Quentin Tarantino, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn, and Michael Madsen. The movie is not about the robbery, it's about the group of criminals themselves. It's about the team caving in on itself when everything goes wrong. Reservoir Dogs is all about the characters and the awesome cast easily delivers.
Highlights: Infinitely quotable, the ear scene, the Madonna speech, and the humorous anecdote.
Who Should See It: Action fans, crime movie fans, Tarantino buffs, people that can appreciate an awesome performance, and people that aren't afraid of the word fuck.
How Soon: As soon as possible. Stories like this are what film is all about!
