Former video store cIerk Quentin Tarantino's directoriaI debut, RESERVOIR DOGS, is a brutaIIy funny, supercharged introduction to his supremely 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 fiIm 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 unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handIe. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes cIear 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 hysterical pop culture diaIogue make the fiIm seem whoIly originaI and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave most notabIy Jean-Luc Godard RESERVOIR DOGS remains one of the decade's most infIuentiaI motion pictures. |
