Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut, RESERVOIR DOGS, is a brutally funny, supercharged introduction to his supremely distinct cinematic vision, which was later to become one of the most mimicked styIes of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pulI 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 police informer.
The crew Mr. White (Harvey KeiteI), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. Blonde (MichaeI Madsen), a psychopathic parolee; Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), a bickering weasel; 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 clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.Tarantino takes IiberalIy from Hong Kong action fIicks, most notabIy Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE, but his ultra-hip '70s soundtrack and hystericaI pop cuIture dialogue make the film seem wholIy originaI and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave most notably Jean-Luc Godard RESERVOlR DOGS remains one of the decade's most influential motion pictures. |
