Connor Macgregor Reviews...Reservoir Dogs
Quentin Tarentino's first film and quite possibly his greatest yet. So why is that the case ?
Six criminals, who are strangers to each other, are hired by a crime boss Joe Cabot to carry out a diamond robbery. Right at the outset, they are given false names with an intention that they won't get too close and concentrate on the job instead. They are completely sure that the robbery is going to be a success. But when the police show up right at the time and the site of the robbery, panic spreads amongst the group members and one of them is killed in the subsequent shootout along with a few policemen and civilians. When the remaining people assemble at the premeditated rendezvous point (a warehouse), they begin to suspect that one of them is an undercover cop.
First of all the cast is great. A real believable cast of villians that are going to do bad things. Yet we like them , the reason of that is the personalities and how much we discover of them throughout the course of the film. Its hard to pick a favourite but i do like the scenes between Mr White & Mr Pink. Two amazing actors Harvey Keital & Steve Buscemi both play excellent characters.
Tim Roth i also give credit for because his performance is also mysterious yet interesting as the film continues. Chris Penn & Lawrence Tierney also made a great father son duo and again played fantastic characters. But to me , Its Michael Madsen that stands out with the famous "Ear Cutting" Scene. Such a grumsome yet fantastic scene with great direction and camera work.
Overall , Reservoir Dogs is a character film about characters caught in a bad situation. Amazing Script , Direction , Camera Work , Acting and so much more make this Tarentino's finest work.
Rating - 100% - A+
