A Fine Ending

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2001)

This movie begins at the end. Sort of. It is Quentin Tarantino's major masterpiece, the film which gave him such instant fame. The reason this film amazed me so much is that it only had a budget of 1 million dollars and a group of unknown (at the time, of course) actors. These actors are all now well respected. Harvy Keitel even made a comeback.
The movie begins at the ending. There are a series of flashbacks, and they all lead up to an excellent climactic standoff. I mean, this whole film is a climax! Somehow Quentin Tarantino put in a bunch of dialogue which makes one laugh and feel as if they know the characters personally. Who knows what magic he was weaving when he was writing the script, but Reservoir Dogs has some of the best dialogue I know of.
Reservoir surpasses Pulp Fiction in my opinion. The movie was not meant to be a big hit really, while Pulp Ficiton knew it would make money. Dogs is a hit. A true hit. See this movie, because it is a definite gem on the movie shelf, even if it sometimes goes unnoticed by the masses.
