Quentin has yet to fail

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2004)

Quentin Tarantino pulls off another great success with Reservoir Dogs. One of the best films I have ever seen, Reservoir Dogs combines action, suspense, and even a hint of comedy to create one of the greatest films of all times. This film is centered around a robbery that is never even directly shown in the film. In my perspective, this proves Tarantino's genius. Reservoir Dogs is the number one best movie on my list.
The film is about a group of strangers with a common goal. They are trying to pull a simple diamond heist. With their headquarters in an abandoned warehouse, the five are confident that nothing will go wrong. All of them following the command of their leader Joe Cabot, the code named strangers go by Mr. Pink, Mr. White, Mr. Orange, Mr. Blue, and Mr. Blonde. The robbers suddenly realize, in the climax of the film, that their plan is flawed. They figure out that one of their own is a cop. They just don't know who.
The cast is great. My favorite actor in the film was Steve Buscemi, who played Mr. Pink. Though it may have been how well his character was written by Tarantino, I believe that excellent acting contributed to his success in the film. He was not only able to add comic relief in the 'Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?' scene, but he also did an excellent job playing the only character who kept his cool in the final, action packed scenes. The other actors were great also. Tim Roth also did considerably well as Mr. Orange as he slowly died throughout the film. Quentin himself appeared briefly in the film as Mr. Brown. The cast, writing and the plot make Reservoir Dogs my all time favorite film. Quentin has yet to fail.
