Reservoir Dogs

Greatly written, except for the use of the N word frequently. I like how the name of every scene comes up each time to let the audience know what is going on. The non-chronological aspect of it really hooked me in. Steve Buscemi acted brilliantly along the wonderful Harvey Keitel. Tarantino had some memorable moments, including the always discussed beginning. My favorite part was of Michael Madsen dancing while sawing off the right ear of the police officer just for kicks. The music was perfect because it was upbeat; it made people feel groovy, then they were caught off guard when he sliced him with a razor. There were lots of dull parts in it; but since it was Tarantino's first big screen adventure, I must cut him some slack.

This is brutal story that ends in tragedy as a result of a group of dubious individuals manufacturing their own downfall through the duplicity, conniving behavior, and betrayal. The viewer can't help but to laugh and smile viciously as the well planned schemes of those foolish colored-themed antagonists unravel and is torn asunder by the conclusion of this masterpiece. Enjoy the popcorn; this is an awesome train-wreck!

Amazing film, especially for a first full length feature. Definitely one of Tarantino's best films, period. If you've never seen a Tarantino before, I'd suggest starting with this or Pulp Fiction. Both are great and not as long winded as Inglorious Basterds or Django Unchained, even though I love them both. This movie really gets to the heart of Tarantino as a director and writer since it was shot on a limited budget. It's all about story, dialogue, and the deconstruction of the caper genre.
