Almost as good as Pulp Fiction

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2005)

Tarantino's first movie, Reservoir Dogs paved the way to Pulp Fiction, with both films sharing key elements such as extreme violence, torture, crime, black suits and other things fans are already very familiar with.
While Pulp Fiction maybe appealed to a wider audience, being close to a comedy at times and introducing lots of "pop" references, Reservoir Dogs is essentially what I like to call a straight out guy movie. You start out with a bunch of guys, then those guys will do nasty things, beat the hell out of each other, and that's basically your story. Now all you have to do is make it sound and look cool in film. And that's exactly where Tarantino delivers like no other.
Overall this is a movie that is not be missed, although sometimes it might lack some development here and there, which is why I give it a 9 instead of a 10 (which is still a really high rating).
