A gruesome, yet oddly compelling, gangster flick (contains spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2001)

Quentin Tarantino bursted to the world of Hollywood with his directorial debut, RESERVOIR DOGS. In this film, a group of seemingly cool and collected mobsters recollect how their well-planned jewelry store heist ended up to be one botched and bloody disaster. Harvey Keitel leads the ensemble cast as the loyal but ruthless crook nicknamed Mr. White. Michael Madsen also stars as the deranged,
razor-wielding Mr. Blonde, who makes listening to Stealer's Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You" one frigtening experience. The raw brutality, not to mention the hard-edge dialogue and the performances, make RESERVOIR DOGS a one-of-a-kind winner.
