Review of Reservoir Dogs

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2011)

Resivoir dogs is a film from 1992 it took place in Los Angeles. There was a mob group that was headed by Joe Cabot ( Lawrence Tierny) and the group was to steal jewels from the jewelry store. They had everything played out and it was supposed to go all smooth. Although this is not happen the robbery went very wrong and ended up being very bloody. The men who were in the mob went but nick names and they were colors. The men met back at a warehouse where everyone was blaming each other for spilling to the cops. Little did everyone know that Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) was the undercover cop.
The main theme to the movie was about loyalty and friendship. Through out the movie these members were blaming and torching each other and forgot that none of that mattered. In the end Joe showed up to the shop and knew exactly that Mr. Orange was an undercover cop and wanted to kill him. Although Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) believed that this was impossible because he took a bullet for him. This ended in a bloody fight because everyone was so upset and angry and Mr. Orange admitted he was a cop and everyone ends up dead. It's a bloody mess. This shows that no matter how angry you are with someone death will not help the situation.
This film is very similar to the movie raging bull where Jake LaMotta ended up with nothing in the end. Both of the movies they think that they are going to get the things they want and be happy. Money can't buy you happiness although many people believe that is all you need. In both of the movies they end up with nothing in the end, the only thing they have is hurt and hatred towards each other. One of the scenes that showed different camera angles and lighting was when Mr. Blonde was torching the police officer that they had held hostage. You could see him torching the police officer and in the background you could see Mr. Orange getting upset. It made you wonder what was going to happen next. I thought Mr. Orange was not even conscious and he woke up and shot Mr. Blonde. Another scene where you see the lighting change is the final scene when Joe comes in and is very upset and sees the men lying on the floor. You can see everyone and everything around that is making him upset. It slowly zooms in on Joe, his son, and Mr. White. The film crew also managed to show when they each shot each other. This brought the movie to the final scene with Mr. White and Mr. Orange.
Reservoir Dogs is a movie that shows no matter how much you think something is worth ruining your friendship over it is not worth it. You have to trust to be trusted, if they would have all came clean and waited for the cops to get there they all probably could have gotten away with little to nothing in the end.
