Reality is cooler than fiction

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2000)

The first time you see this movie you're probably disgusted by the unnecessary violence in the "ear" scene. Only later you realize that Tarantino had you cornered. The movie had such an emotional effect on you that you couldn't cope with your feelings anymore and the only way out is say it's stupid and unnecessary. Especially with inexperienced viewers you strongly notice this effect and it's fun to watch them. I think reservoirs dogs is brilliant. The violence gives you an experience that only horror movies could give you when you were young. This is a real ride! Of course the other brilliance is found in the the dialogues. Forget the cool movie talk,this is how real gangsters talk. And reality proves to be way cooler than fiction!
