An intriguing story of strangers

Rating: 9/10 (12 September 2004)

Reservoir Dogs is one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. It's not about the killing, or even the actually robbery gone awry. This movie is more about the way humans think. It's very intriguing to watch all the characters development (and lack of) and see how everything all fits together in the end. Also, the sequence of events was very cool. I love how Quentin Tarantino uses the " chapter " format to keep us viewers in suspense as to the events. The movie itself is very..symbolical, in a way. I mean, it's about strangers trying to work together without a basic foundation, of trust. I suppose they may have trusted each other at one point, but after the robbery went horribly wrong, they could barely contain themselves. Watching them try and figure out what had happened, when they probably didn't even know themselves, was very entertaining, and I don't mean in a ' OK, Mr.Blonde, kill that guy!" way. I mean more of a, what are they trying to do, how are they going to prove what is what.

When Mr. Orange tries to comfort Nash, the cop, and tells him he is a cop, nobody really expected that... or did they? I think they were both really scared, because Orange was dying and Nash was about to be burnt alive by Mr.Blonde, with the gasoline. Even if you did have suspicions about Mr.Orange, did anyone expect the part when he shoots Mr. Blonde? I know I didn't. That is exactly why this movie is about human nature. Was Orange actually passed out on the floor.. or was he awake the whole time? The answer depends on what kind of person you are.
