A Brilliant, violent, and powerful film

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2005)

Reservoir Dogs is Tarantino's first film, and it was an excellent way to get started.
This movie has some great acting(you can't go wrong with Steve Buscemi).
(possible Spoilers)
Reservoir Dogs is about a diamond heist that seemed perfect, but went totally wrong and results in dead cops, criminals, and even civilians. The criminals who survived regroup in a warehouse and come to the conclusion that there was a police informant in their group, and they look back on the incidents to figure out who the informant was. The rest of the film is a gritty, action packed look back on what happened. The entire film isn't base on flash backs because certain other incidents happen in the warehouse that I won't spoil for you.
Tarantino's films have plenty of action in them, but in my opinion the best part of his movies is the humorous and witty dialog, and Reservoir Dogs has plenty of that clever Tarantinoesque dialog.
Definitely not a date movie, I don't know too many women who can tolerate the raw violence in Reservoir Dogs, otherwise you'll probably be glad you watched Reservoir Dogs.
