Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2020)

'Reservoir Dogs' is a very good film, first and foremost.
It manages to keep you locked in for the full duration despite everything revolving around a major incident which you don't even see. It is extremely talky in most parts, but the strong dialogue makes it worthwhile.
Pretty much all of the characters are unlikable individuals, so the film does a good job at keeping you interested in the story - Steve Buscemi as Mr. Pink is the prime example. I thoroughly enjoyed Buscemi's performance. Harvey Keitel is another strong performer in this.
The ending would be my only non-positive comment. It's not even a bad conclusion, it just wraps up way quicker than I thought it would.
