the new crimewave by quentin tarantino

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2001)

In 1991 when quentin needed money for his first big movie From Dusk till Dawn he decided to make a short (aprox. 20 minutes long) movie called reservoir dogs. Reservoir Dogs would be his entry to Hollywood. Suprisingly the story got bigger and bigger and then he started to raise money for that movie. He got help from Lawrence Bender and especially from Harvey Keitel, the leading actor. Now the budget was at least ten times bigger.
The story is about a bunch of small-time criminals and they're going to rob a jewellery store. Something goes wrong and two of them end up dead and one is barely breathing: one of them is a snitch. Luckily they don't know anything about each others beacause of their codenames: Mr. White, Mr. Pink, etc. It all doesn't end up very well as you can imagine...
The new movie maestro Quentin Tarantino was soon on everybody's lips after the premiere in the Sundance film festival. Reservoir Dogs (and QT as well) got a bad reputation because of the "ultra-violence" which became a new entire movie genre. Thanks to Quentin Tarantino the 90's will be remembered as the decade of violence.
