A movie which gave us Tarantino

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2005)

In 1992, when I was twelve and had no comprehension about good movies, came Reservoir Dogs, a film, which introduced Quentin Tarantion to the world as a director. Now, if I had seen RD before I had seen Pulp Fiction I would without any doubt claim RD to be Tarantinos best movie. But now, as I have seen Pulp Ficiton before RD I can say "Well, Reservoir Dogs ain't his best film, but it was extremely good place to start." Most first directions aren't even 10th as good as Reservoir Dogs.
So, Reservoir Dogs is about band or thieves, who are unknown to each other. They are total strangers who are gather up to do a diamond shop heist. They use code names ala Mr. Pink or Mr. Orange. This all, of course, goes terribly wrong. Whole movie is describing the moments before and after the crime, when the dogs are trying to figure out what went wrong and who is to blame.
Quentin Tarantinos style is very visible from the first scene to the last, everything is stylish to the last and everything has its own meaning. Nothing happens without a reason, no matter how ridiculous it might be.
I don't want to give out any scenes or characters, so I won't dig in any further into the story. Only thing I can say: watch it first before you love or hate it.
