"No Refunds After 20 Minutes"

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2000)

When I first saw this movie, I noticed a sign that said "Reservoir Dogs: No Refunds After 20 Minutes" at the ticket booth. 20 Minutes? Why? What the heck happens?
Well, I didn't know exactly when 20 minutes into the film was because I didn't think to look at my watch. I was too busy enjoying the film. The reason, I'm guessing that the management felt the need to put up that sign was the infamous Michael Madsen razor scene. I hadn't covered my eyes in a movie since I was a kid up until that point and I haven't done it since, but I found myself saying out loud "I can't watch this - I just can't" and, indeed I didn't. When the scene was over, my buddy tapped me on the shoulder to let me know it was o.k. to look again. I did manage to make it through that scene watching it at home on video, but it was really gruesome.
If you're not a wimp like me, feel free to enjoy this entire film. If you are a wimp, then rent it anyway and cover your eyes when necessary. It's a great ride.
