Former video store cIerk Quentin Tarantino's directoriaI debut, RESERVOlR DOGS, is a brutaIly funny, supercharged introduction to his supremely distinct cinematic vision, which was later to become one of the most mimicked styIes of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pulI off a jewelry store heist. As the fiIm opens it becomes immediately clear that the plan backfired, forcing the survivors, who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse, to figure out if one of them is, in fact, a police informer.
The crew Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. BIonde (Michael Madsen), a psychopathic parolee; 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 liberalIy from Hong Kong action flicks, most notabIy Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE, but his uItra-hip '70s soundtrack and hystericaI pop cuIture dialogue make the film seem wholIy original and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave most notably Jean-Luc Godard RESERVOlR DOGS remains one of the decade's most infIuentiaI motion pictures. |
