Great debut film

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2000)

Reservoir Dogs is Quentin Tarantino's debut film. It is a violent, but very entertaining film. Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Chris Penn & Steve Buscemi, all talented actors who usually play supporting roles, are the stars here.
They are thieves brought together by Lawrence Tierney for a robbery. Their names are kept secret, they are known only by color names. At the beginning of the film, we see the robbery go bad. The rest of the film, through flashbacks, tells how things went wrong. One of them is believed to have tipped off the police. This film has alot of violence and profanity and is played out nicely by the great cast. There is a memorable scene involving the Stealer's Wheel song "Stuck in The Middle With You".

Reservoir Dogs is an entertaining film and a promising debut by Tarantino, who has gone on to direct two more excellent movies: Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.
