Great piece of work

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2000)

Films in the gangster/mobster genre all seem to have the same "feel" to them, but there's something about "Reservoir Dogs" that sets it far and apart from the rest. How does a gangster film get away without having any female characters playing token bimbos or mistresses? How exciting can a film be when most of the scenes take place at a drab warehouse? Through Quentin Tarantino's clever direction, this film more than holds its own. It is simply a great piece of work.
