A heist movie without the heist

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2012)

Reservoir Dogs is a movie about a crew of thieves and they're lead up and subsequent aftermath of them robbing a jewel store. But it only shows the before and after of the jewel heist. The details of the heist are explained in the aftermath and also by using your imagination of what happened. The movie begins with the crew going to a diner for breakfast before pulling off the job and a bunch of small talk ensues. Then cut to after the credits to where they're all showing up at the meet up place after the heist goes wrong and not everyone makes it back alive. Accusations towards each other about why things went wrong ensue with each other turning on each other.
This was the first directorial performance by Quentin Tarantino of what would go onto to be many really interesting movies with his signature touch on them.
