It's a funny, nasty, brutal, tense and invigorating film.

A fond genre move that's forever chortling up its sleeve at the puerile idiocy of the genre, a heist caper without a heist, an action movie that's hopelessly in love with talk and a poem to the sexiness of storytelling.

The story is as phony as the names the robbers take - Mr. White, Mr. Blue, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Pink and Mr. Brown - and it's also a hymn to violence, blood and sadism that reaches repulsive levels.

4.5/5

"Quentin Tarantino’s feature debut Reservoir Dogs is an astounding single-location thriller that makes the most of its all-star cast and refined script."

3.5/5

The film's biggest single problem is that the director learned so much from making it that he went on to keep making things that were better.

Reservoir Dogs is an impressive debut that reflects Tarantino's unique, postmodern style and points towards things to come.

A definitive moment in Quentin Tarantino's film making career.

Apr 23, 2019

Very monologue heavy, but with the constant question of whether Mr. Orange is alive or dead, it keeps me from being bored. The plot on the other hand is a bit weak. In conclusion, a very suspenseful movie with great dialogue and cool scenes, though the plot could have been better.

Neither excellent nor bad.

No review needed really. A classic, a cult, a masterpiece. The first feature film of Quentin Tarantino, and still one of his best. Maybe even THE best, although I grew up with bread and Pulp Fiction. If you did not watch it yet, buy some pop corns and put it on!

Needs to be watched.

I didn't know what was really going on in this movie, it was vague and jumped from person to person which made it strangely interesting and entertaining.
