Indtroudcing the world to QT

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2013)

Quentin Trantino's first movie; Reservoir Dogs, is one of his best. Like many of his films it is controversial. It was both praised and critized for the violence. Sure, it is violent and very bloody, but not too much.
The narrative is unique and has inspired many films that has come later. It is told in flashbacks, gradually explaining backgrounds.
The plot is this: six strangers are put together to rob a jewellery shop. It goes terribly wrong and the police gets to the crime scene, during the heist. The heist itself is never depicted in the movie, but the aftermath is. The surviving criminals try to figure out who told the police?
How these men got the job is told in the flashbacks. These fill several purposes: to explain and clarify the background and to vary the story.
The actual story, that takes place in the present, takes place in a warehouse; the rendezvous for the criminals.
To those of you that have seen QT's Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained I say this: This one is as good as those.
Though, Reservoir Dogs is quite different from Qt's later movies. Mainly because it is more serious. Of course there are some very bisarre scenes in which the characters sit at a table and discuss absurd things; what the true meaning of Madonna's Like A Virgin is, for example.
Loved it! 9/10
