Movie Reviews of Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary)
Movie Review: Im not rating the film itself
Summary: 3 Stars
but instead the visual and audio quality. The picture has barely been improved at all from the previous DVD release and the the audio is no different from the last edition. There are no HD-Audio track and the picture is grainy in a bad way. It basically looks like a unconverted copy of the 10th anniversary edition
Summary 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
