Not Pulp Fiction, but still in my top 10

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2001)

Sure, this film is not as good as Pulp Fiction (Tarantino's classic), but it still ranks in my top 10 films of all time. A lot of people think that violence and gore are the most important elements in this film, but that it just not true.
While it is gory (the scene with the cop is one of my most squeamish moments), the characters are real, and, in a way, the audience can sympathize with them, esp. Mr. White when he realizes the truth about Mr. Orange in the end. Also, I am a big fan of the tangled plots and story-lines, one of the reasons Pulp Fiction is such a great film and why Tarantino is a great director. Reservoir Dogs has the plots of each different bank robber; how they came to be a part of the robbery, what they saw during the robbery, what they did, and what happened to them afterwards. Only after each characters' plot is explained do we get the stunning and brilliant climax and conclusion which ranks as one of the all time greats.
Still, there are some aspects of the film that aren't so good. I could have done without some of the longer speaking scenes, and a little more action could have helped (it would have been nice to see the robbery). But, you can't forget the characters, the plot, or the ending.
9/10
