Quentin Tarantino is THE MAN!

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2015)

I've always loved the work of directors like Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Sam Mendes, Martin Scorcese and Matthew Vaughn. With that said, I also need to reveal I always felt some kind of attraction towards Tarantino's work. Growing up I always wanted to watch his movies. Some said to me there were B-Movies, something more independent to a more restricted public and now that I'm on my teens and after watching "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs", I can surely assume the films really are niche-focused. After the viewing of this two I'm now seeking to see the two "Kill Bills" and "Django Unchained"(which I've seen roughly 30 minutes a long time ago)
But,now, let's go down to business and talk about the gem that is Reservoir Dogs.
Tarantino made his feature film debut with this one, in 1992. The plot revolves around a jewelry store robbery that goes incredibly wrong. The gangsters then try to uncover the true identity of the one who has set them up. The cast on this one is simply amazing! We have Harvey Keitel (who also produced the film) giving one of his best performances as Mr. White (the most experienced member of the group); Tim Roth who in his first outing with Tarantino gave a very solid performance as Mr. Orange; Steve Buscemi also is quite good as Mr. Pink; Michael Madsen shines as Mr.Blonde; Quentin Tarantino himself gives a good performance as Mr.Brown(specially with his "Like a Virgin" interpretation in the beginning) and also other good performances by Chris Penn and Lawrence Tierney.
Tarantino was one of the first directors to adopt the widescreen technology which grants the movie some amazing shots. He directs his features as no other, mixing humour with gore and intensity. The soundtrack as always in his movies, his excellent, taking the viewer back to the 70's. The pace of the movie is well built and Tarantino takes time to explain the three major PoVs of the plot : the one of Mr.White, the one Mr.Blue and the one of Mr.Orange. This develops the storytelling and also gives us even more background information about these characters.
After watching I can truthfully say this movie sure deserves it's place on IMDb's Top 250, being an instant classic. It's just amazing and unpredictable, being of the best of the 90's and one of the best films ever made.
Let's just wait for "The Hateful Eight"!
