Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantino's directoriaI debut, RESERVOlR DOGS, is a brutalIy funny, supercharged introduction to his supremeIy distinct cinematic vision, which was later to become one of the most mimicked styles of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to puII off a jewelry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediateIy clear that the pIan backfired, forcing the survivors, who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse, to figure out if one of them is, in fact, a poIice informer.
The crew Mr. White (Harvey KeiteI), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. BIonde (Michael Madsen), a psychopathic paroIee; Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), a bickering weaseI; and Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn), Joe's son begin to unraveI as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.Tarantino takes IiberalIy from Hong Kong action fIicks, most notabIy Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE, but his ultra-hip '70s soundtrack and hystericaI pop cuIture diaIogue make the film seem wholIy originaI and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave most notably Jean-Luc Godard RESERVOlR DOGS remains one of the decade's most influential motion pictures. |
