DVD Reviews of Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary)
DVD Review: I have a surprise in the trunk of my car. I think you're gonna like it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all-time favorite movies! I'm not a big fan of cop & robber movies, but this flick is supurbly done. Even though it revolves around a jewelry store heist, the actual robbery is never shown. It was supposed to be the perfect heist. Everything was planned to the letter. But something went terribly wrong. Most of the movie takes place in an abandoned warehouse that was meant to be the rendezvous where they were supposed to meet after the robbery. One of the robbers was shot during the getaway. A few more are missing and apparently they were killed. And everyone is trying to figure out what went wrong. One of them must have set them up. There was a rat in the house! And they have to figure out who set them up. There are a lot of flashbacks to the planning stages and the various participants, and even flashbacks to the getaway. There is bickering, squabbling and finger-pointing and "What do we do now?" This film is not for the faint-hearted. It gets quite graphic and intense. Quentin Tarantino assembled an excellent cast with a dynamite script to deliver a fresh, bold, stark, graphic picture of the classic jewelry store heist that is truly one of the best pictures ever made! As I said, I'm not a big fan of cops & robbers flicks, but this is just a terrific movie! Quentin joins a cast that features Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn & Steve Buscemi in a dark, bold and very graphic portrait of some very nasty people! And Lawrence Tierney is fabulous in the role of Joe, the boss who arranged the robbery. I even enjoy comedian Steven Wright's voice used as the disc jockey for the background used of the robbers' favorite radio station. It was an interesting way to hold the whole package together. I very highly recommend this film!
DVD Review: A Non-Linear, Dialogue Driven Film That Appeals to Any and All Tastes
Summary: 4 Stars
"Reservoir Dogs" is Tarantino at his best. It's a very focused, character driven film that pretty much anyone can enjoy. It's one of the better gangster flicks, because unlike recent entries in the genre, it isn't exceedingly bloody or gory. There is extreme violence, but most of it is suggested or downplayed. It's also a great drama with an unconventional, non-linear structure that flows so nicely that I couldn't picture it being told any other way. It's a character driven piece, with most of the action being explained through dialogue after the fact, though I never felt like I was missing anything.
The dialogue is very snappy, and that is the shiny exterior that attracted me to the movie. From the opening speech about Madonna's "Like a Virgin" (which is spot on) to Mr. Orange's reveal to Mr. White, the dialogue carries the film on its back, never letting up. However, while the dialogue is definitely the main attraction, the quality of pretty much every aspect of the movie is high enough to keep anyone thoroughly entertained.
8/10
DVD Review: What a DOG of a flick
Summary: 1 Stars
I love Pulp Fiction, so I thought this must be a great movie, too. I'm baffled by the positive reviews. This movie has a great cast but a simple plot. I kept waiting for it to make some sense or interest me. It never happened. Once is too many times to view this movie. Don't waste your money. It doesn't live up to all the hype.DVD Review: One of the best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Do not miss this movie, a crime classic. Violent, disturbing, and simply awesome. The music is really sick too.DVD Review: Bad Dog!
Summary: 1 Stars
I rented this movie because I heard that it was such a gangster classic. Man, whoever gave this movie a rating of classic couldn't be more wrong. Don't get me wrong this movie was full of talent, but the movie itself was just horrible. We jump from the events prior to the diamond heist to the chaos that followed after. We didn't get to see the actual heist or the crews shootout with the cops just them talk about it. I don't know about you, but I personally would rather see the action for myself.
Another reason why i disliked this film was beacuse it left to many questions unanswered, like what how and when did Mr. Blue get killed. And Mr. Brown's deaf was so unbelievable. One minute his driving the getaway car and the next he's dead? HORRIBLE FILM!
Description of Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary)
Four Perfect Killers. One Perfect Crime. Critically acclaimed for its raw power and breathtaking ferocity it's the brilliant American gangster movie classic from writer-director Quentin Tarantino. They were perfect strangers assembled to pull off the perfect crime. Then their simple robbery explodes into bloody ambush and the ruthless killers realize one of them is a police informer. But which one?System Requirements:Run Time: 100 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?R UPC:?012236198376 Manufacturer No:?20876Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them color-coded aliases (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, Mr. White) to conceal their identities from being known even to each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception, and betrayal. As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn, and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful, and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson
