Reservoir Dogs : Review by Kumayl Directed by Quentin Tarantino
All you fans of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill have just received a feast! Sadly for others this movie will test their tolerance to the maximum level. See Reservoir Dogs is a movie with extremely gruesome and grotesque scenes featuring criminals torturing and abusing verbally as well as physically, their fellow cast members. People get shot in the stomach and there is a scene of an amputation (ehhhh). This is just not it; the four letter word is used 252 times! ..so this is definitely not a family film!
Released in 1992 this film caused an enormous amount of controversy and hullabaloo, mostly for its content. It is still the worst movie to take your date out, topping the list after American Psycho. But if u put aside the grisly bloodbaths shown in this feature and concentrate more behind the cinematography of this legendary director..Quentin Tarantino you will appreciate his work.
The plot outline is simply this: They were four perfect strangers, assembled to pull off the perfect crime. Their simple robbery explodes into a bloody ambush, and the ruthless killers realize one of them is a police informer. But which one? The Indian movie Kaante has badly copied this film so don't confuse yourself with the story boards.
Coming back to the director who also wrote the script, he has cleanly and charismatically shown the precision of gangster dialogue. This movie is an in your face version of psychopathic violence, killing and bad language. But please please! Don't take it in the literal sense...these are just backdrops. Focus more on the long takes, like Michael Madsen (Mr. Blonde) going out of a warehouse to grab a can of petrol from the car and then going back and splashing it on a cop.
Lastly I would strongly recommend not allowing children and older people or more conservative people to view RD.
