What a great remake!

Yup. Reservoir Dogs is a remake of City of Fire. Check out the linked video and come to your own conclusions (http://vimeo.com/5081539).
I used to love this movie. As I watched and re-watched this film I grew tired of the unnecessary violence. The violence feels like fluff and filler at this point. The movie is a magical interpretation of small-time organized crime. When I discovered it was also a remake of City of Fire I lost interest in the film. Failure to give due credit to the original is unacceptable and should be a black mark across the film and the reputation of Quentin Tarantino.
Nevertheless there are iconic moments in the film. And, for what it is, its done pretty well.
