The Definition of Style

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2011)

Reservoir Dogs is a movie about style and energy. It doesn't pause to ask what's happening, and it doesn't try to appeal to large audiences. However, those that this movie does appeal to will love it. Every single one.
Reservoir Dogs is the first movie by Quentin Tarantino, and one of his best. It has all of his trademarks in movie making, such as witty dialogue, obscenity, and a non-linear storyline.
This movie is about a group of strangers that have been hired by one man and his son to pull of a diamond heist. You get to see the planning and you get to see the aftermath, but not the heist itself. You may be turned off by hearing this, but this is pulled off very well. It is the greatest heist movie, even though you don't see the heist.
Each character is his own type of psychopath. Mr. Pink is a witty, intelligent man, as well as a jerk. Mr. Blonde is a sick, sadistic murderer and torturer. Mr. White is a fast-talker that actually has a heart.
All of their performances are fantastic. Tim Roth actually seems to be in agonizing pain, even if he's a little over the top at times. Chris Penn is ANGRY. It's not even acting, he's just angry.
Tarantino outdid himself in one of the greatest crime movies ever made. I highly recommend it.
