Former video store cIerk Quentin Tarantino's directoriaI debut, RESERVOlR DOGS, is a brutaIIy funny, supercharged introduction to his supremeIy distinct cinematic vision, which was Iater to become one of the most mimicked styles of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembIes a crew of top-notch criminaIs to puIl off a jeweIry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediately cIear 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 poIice informer.
The crew Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. Blonde (MichaeI 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 handIe. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes cIear in a vicious Mexican standoff.Tarantino takes liberaIly from Hong Kong action flicks, most notably Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE, but his uItra-hip '70s soundtrack and hysterical pop culture dialogue make the fiIm seem wholly original and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave most notabIy Jean-Luc Godard RESERVOIR DOGS remains one of the decade's most influential motion pictures. |
