"It ends as it starts with it all seeming just not worth it and yet you loved every minute."

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2010)

Reservoir Dogs is perhaps Tarantino's best work. Not because it is the best direction, the most polished or the most entertaining, but because it is his most innovative.
He takes the crime genre and dispels all charm, glamour and prestige. The characters are believable, likable, detestable and pitiful. They make bad decisions, show extreme cold bloodiness and great loyalty. And it feels like they're doing it all for very little.
The dialogue speeds up, slows down, takes great turns and is punctuated by great humour. It is as well written as Tarantino has managed.
As a director he cleverly uses music with a local radio show playing the songs on cue with the scene and plays with time in a manner that doesn't feel like showing off but rather "you need to know this now so here it is".
It ends as it starts with it all seeming just not worth it and yet you loved every minute.
