One heck of a crime flick.

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2001)

Quentin Tarantino is by far one of the best directors out there. He first made it clear when he made Reservoir Dogs.
The plot follows a few jewelry store robbers after an aborted robbery that turned into a bloodbath. The main characters all have aliases to hide their true identity. These robbers don't know each other, just the boss. Harvey Keitel is in top form as the veteran Mr. White. Michael Madsen is superb as the cold-blooded psycho Mr. Blonde. Steve Buscemi is funny (as usual) as Mr. Pink. And then there is the phenomenal Tim Roth as Mr. Orange.
After the robbery, they go back to the original hideout, an abandoned warehouse. Here the tension amongst them tightens when they begin to suspect a rat and try to find out who set them up.
The dialogue is great, especially during the opening breakfast scene, and the violence is pretty gruesome towards the end. But hey, that is Tarantino's style, and he is darn good at it. One of the best crime flicks and definitely one of the best indy flicks to ever be made.
