No real people: just cops

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2011)

Reservoir Dogs is the movie that led Quentin Tarantino to fame in the 90's. That haven't happened without a good reason because this movie is very unique and interesting.
Tarantino make us enter in the universe of a little gang of criminal whom robbery failed. Being a talented director and writer, he tells us this story in a unusual way. Indeed, all the action takes place through the dialogues: although Reservoir Dog is a thriller, there is almost no action scenes. There's also the fact that, since Quentin Tarantino wasn't a famous director, he didn't have a huge budget for his movie. Because of this, the image is very abstemious; no useless addition in the picture, no make-up, just real people. It just makes it even easier for us to enter in his universe.
Then, the way that the script is written makes it interesting until the end of the movie. Indeed, the story start at the end of the failed robbery. The characters attempt therefore to ajust thing to have a chance to get out of this situation unhamed. Then, the viewer get to know what happened out there little by little, who these people are, and why they did this.
Reservoir Dogs is also a great movie because of its characters. First of all, all actors are great; they play their role with near-perfection. We can believe that these guys could have existed All in all, I think it was a great movie; it has all it takes to make a success, and it was one. I recommend it greatly.
