The best spent 75 cents of my whole life!

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 1999)

I saw Reservoir Dogs for the first time four years ago. It was being played at the University of Panama theater along with some John Woo's and Takeshi Kitano's movies. I could only watch one of the show and I selected this one. It would be my first experience with hyper-violent movies and I didn't know what to wait. I hate Stallone, Seagal, Van Damme, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis' action movies, and I feared this could be another action flick. But thanks God it wasn't. It turned to be a wonderful movie full of interesting characters, with a coherent plot (something that most movies lack of) and intelligent dialogues. It just made me see movies in an entirely different way. It may sound silly for some of you, but this movie really touches me. I understood perfectly Mr. White feelings, as well as I understood why Mr. Orange told him the truth at the end. Since that day I am more exigent with the movies I see; it made me see that there can still be made good movies, intelligent movies; and those are the only ones I want to see, because those are the only ones I deserve. I know, this is not a proper review, and maybe it is too sentimental for this kind of movie, but I just wanted to share with all of you what this movie did for this young woman here in Panama. Those were the best spent 75 cents of my entire life.
