Remarkably restrained and nail-bitingly tense.

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2018)

'Reservoir Dogs (1992)' is remarkably restrained for a Tarantino flick, a stripped-back thriller focusing on the tense aftermath of a robbery gone wrong. It's incredibly compelling throughout, with snappy dialogue driving character-based brilliance. The movie doesn't hang about, running around 99-minutes, and, as such, the limited premise is milked for every ounce of suspense before an explosive finale. 8/10
