Way Overrated

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2005)

I love Quentin Tarantinos movies, Pulp Fiction is one of my all time best and the Kill Bill films are both also great, but I must say I really had problems with Reservoir dogs which was his first major film. Reservoir Dogs is a wonderfully made film with some great performances, that was expected the thing that I still fail to see how happened is how Quentin Tarantinos script was so bad. The dialogue is still amazing as it is in all Tarantino films but the story is horrible, it is filled with clichÃ©s and hardly makes any sense. Tarantinos usual thing about not having the film in the order of how it happened like most films just makes this film more confusing and pointless. The saving points are that it does have several very good scenes. "Spoilers" 1. The naming. 2. When Mr. Orange is talking to his cop friend. 3. The ending. "End of Spoilers" But even with its moments and a flawless performance by Tim Roth as Mr. Orange the film never really takes off and in the end is a sure failure, but I guess worth renting once just for those things.
