VHS Movie Reviews of Reservoir Dogs (10th Anniversary Edition) [VHS]
Movie Review: Dunno what the title means
Summary: 5 Stars
I guess I hadn't seen this since it came out, and I thought I remembered. But I didn't. The script here is fabulous, and of course, everything that's been said about the great cast and directing is all true. The time-shifting technique pioneered here went on to be used in quite a number of other films. And the coffee shop scenes, of course, resurfaced in Pulp Fiction and many more following movies. There's a lot of blood, but somehow it's not that gory, despite some torture that is one of the movie's most memorable sequences, set to Stealer's Wheel music. Ha. This is one of the few dvd's I have watched lately all the way through without a pause, my new standard for whether a movie is at the top of the pile. This one certainly is.
Summary of Reservoir Dogs (10th Anniversary Edition) [VHS]
Quentin 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 EmersonQuentin 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.
