Reservoir Dogs Review

Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy. Ever seen a debut being fantastic. Here you go. Reservoir Dogs is one of the cult classics from Quentin Tarantino who marked his debut through this film ( athough his first fims was My Best Friends birthday which wasn’t released because its reel got lost in a fire ).

Tarantino’s style of story is quite simple and straight forward but where he excels is his screenplay and direction and the way he moves forwards the story. Reservoir Dogs is a based on a heist and events happening before and after that. It all starts with 8 men, 6 of them who are gang thugs who are called by names of colors and Mob boss and his Son, eating breakfast in a local restaurant where they have a big conversation, the best part of the conversation comes when they discuss about tipping. All those 6 mens were made anonymous to each other so that they would not reveal the names if things go south. They plan on executing a diamond robbery which they expect to go smooth suddenly gets interrupted by the police and chaos begins. People get shot including the police and few people escape amidst those all. They all meet one by one in a abandoned warehouse where they suspect there is a rat who is an undercover cop among them and the whole movie revolves around these characters figuring out who the rat is.

Though the story looks short and simple, the way the narration has been carried out is excellent. Character development and the politics among them were on point and its just elevated by the performances of the star cast which the film holds. the film is one long stage of typical of Tarantino-istic emotions – glorified blood splatter, brutal back-stabbing etc. The typical tarantinos narration of moving with flashbacks and the current story all began with this film and the way it is executed is brilliant. The Camera, the use of colors both as name and in the film was unique.The best part about this it is that it never gets boring despite of the movie being focused in just a single warehouse. Master class Narration.

Overall, This movie is a masterpiece from tarantino and being his debut film just makes it even special. A weird genre with a totally unique narration which very few will like and I hope you are one among us
