Review of Reservoir Dogs (1992) by Renzo V — 27 Jan 2014

"WHAT COLOR IS THE RAT?".

-This 1992 crime movie by one of the most popular directors, the Quentin Tarantino, was considered controversial due to its explicit violence but turned out to be a masterpiece. As always Tarantino makes references to several movie genres. Loaded with strong dialogues, a memorable soundtrack, a bulletproof storyline filled with lots of bloody violence and a touch of humor, this 'Reservoir Dogs' was destined to become an instant classic. Starring Harvey Keitel (From Dusk till Dawn), Chris Penn (True Romance), Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction), Michael Madsen (Kill Bill) and Steve Buscemi (Con Air). Tarantino himself plays the role of Mr. Brown. Let's play Cluedo Tarantino-style!

Gangster Joe Calbot and his son 'Nice Guy' Eddie (Penn) plan to rob a diamond store with the help of six selected specialists. For safety reasons they must keep their real name a secret for each other, so Joe calls them out with colors. The men come together to prepare the perfect heist in an abandoned warehouse. But it all goes wrong when the police show up at the moment of the robbery and a bloody shootout follows. With Mr. Blue and Mr. Brown (Tarantino) dead, the rest of the team must make a run for it. Mr. White (Keitel) takes the heavily wounded Mr. Orange (Roth) to their rendezvous point in the warehouse. Together with the psychotic Mr. Blonde (Madsen) who took a hostage with him and the twitchy Mr. Pink (Buscemi) who hid the diamonds in a secure location, the gangsters realize that someone double-crossed them. A bloody confrontation follows as they try to figure out who is the rat...
