best movie i've ever seen.
A Disappointing Continuation
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
People said it draws inspiration from city on fire, but inspiration is to inspired a film that should deliver some sort of originality that sepereates the two. Reservoir dogs uses all the important plot point and just switch minor detail for western audiences minus the actions. If you seen one you basically seen the other.
Reservoir Dogs (1992) is a slow paced story-driven flick about a heist gone wrong.It's a Tarantino's movie, so go on for it knowing that: plot is not linear, there's a lot of swearing, acting is great, story is awesome. Enough said!
I won't hold back by saying at first this film is very confusing to the average viewer. The unconventional timeline and the many aliases used by the main characters make the film difficult to follow at times; however, this does not take away from the simple brilliance of Tarantino's first feature-film. In the opening scene we are introduced to a group of men in a diner, each with their own personal quirks and unique personalities. Steve Buscemi's character, "Mr.Pink", delivers a long rant about tipping at restaurants that sets the tone as one that is unusual, yet relatable in its own right. After the attempted bank robbery we are informed one of the men in the group is a police informant, but the mystery of who remains unclear. As the timeline jumps back and forth, we come to know more about each character and their backgrounds. With each character's connection to the ultimate heist revealed, it actually becomes more unclear who the informant is, for it seems any of them could potentially be the one.When the mystery is finally revealed, I was simply left speechless by the revelation of who the informant ultimately was. Tarantino's ability to provide clues throughout the film, while simultaneously distract the viewer from the answer that was evident all along, is truly intelligent writing. After watching the film a second time, I was able to notice more of the plot's subtle hints and clues, which made me appreciate the film to an even higher degree. I have watched all of Tarantino's films so far and I personally find this to be my favorite so far. I believe this film catapulted Tarantino into the brilliant storyteller that he is today. At the same time however, this film feels unique from his others in that it is simple and straightforward without the often unnecessary plot background. However at the at the same time, it is the film's unpredictability and realness that speaks volumes. While there is many scenes with violent acts and heavy dialogue, it never seems over the top or exaggerated. This is ultimately a timeless film, that I believe will continue to influence many films to come.
I think Reservoir Dogs is the best first movie. This movie is totally smell like Tarantino. Script is amazing, interesting and so funny. Characters are so original and unforgettable. I think Tarantino composed his genre in this movie. All actors are very good but Tim Roth's performance is so great. I love this film so much and I don't get bored to rewatch this crime masterpiece.
