A Bite Like A "Dog"......

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2004)

"Reservoir Dogs" was the first flick by Quentin Tarantino I had ever seen. My parents watched it with me and were really excited to see what my reaction would be. To say that it's one of my favorite movies is an understatement. I LOVED this movie.
This movie is one of the best movies I've probably ever seen. It's a ferocious, biting, gritty view at the lives of "professional criminals".

"Reservoir Dogs" is a movie about a diamond heist gone awry. One of the six men hand picked to pull it off, ends up being an undercover cop who helps to foil the heist. It's told in a non-linear format, jumping from past events, to future events, to even further past events. It chronicles a few choice characters especially, including "Mr. White", "Mr. Blonde" (Who was probably my favorite. What a psycho!), and "Mr. Orange".
Even though good plot and smart dialogue help this movie be as awesome as it is, the true pinnicle of greatness in this movie is its acting. Steve Buscemi as "Mr. Pink" is absolutely welcome comic relief in the movie and really plays edgy very well. Harvey Keitel as "Mr. White" is just cool, Tim Roth as "Mr. Orange" is both sympathetic and sweet, and Michael Madsen.....MICHAEL MADSEN. Playing "Mr. Blonde" with such a calm psychosis and unnerving crazy is just amazing. By far, my favorite character of the whole lot. Just unabashedly insane. It's awesome. Also, *THE* man, Quentin Tarantino delivers some priceless lines as "Mr. Brown".
Although some people I know may find it as a shock, "Reservoir Dogs" is one of my absolute favorite movies. It's just so raw and real and something that we rarely see in the cinema these days. Everything is just perfect to a "t".
"Reservoir Dogs" is just a greatly violent, bloody mes that you won't be able to take your eyes off of. I TOTALLY recommend this flick for anyone who wants to see just a good movie altogether.
