Pros: Direction, Screenplay, Acting, Sound Cons: None, a genre classic. Not for the squeamish, however.

Pros: Tarantino's Direction, Script, Cinematography, Cast, & Everything Else. Cons: Not One F*cking Thing.
Throughout the history of independent films, there was always an argument on when it really started. Some would say it began with sex, lies, & videotape from Steven Soderbergh since it was the first American independent film to garner some ...

Pros: Great Dialogue and Even Better Shoot-outs Cons: Mr. Blonde Will Never Do A Sequel
If I was going to pull a heist, I would want to be as cool as the compiled crew of this movie. With sleek black suits, big guns, and dry wit, “RD” is by far Writer, Director, Actor, Quentin Tarantino’s best film to date. Many would argue that...

Pros: Dialogue, character, narrative, music, acting, direction... etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum Cons: "The Laugh"
MY REVIEW OF THE MOVIE PROPER
I remember the first time I saw "Reservoir Dogs". About a dozen of us packed into a buddy's living room. We were all under 18 back then, and couldn't legally get a copy of the video, but buddy managed to...

Pros: script, acting, DVD features Cons: none
Reservoir Dogs is a film that grabs your attention from the very beginning and keeps it throughout. Director/writer/costar Quentin Tarantino made an amazing debut with this shockingly violent 1992 film featuring a superb cast. Reservoir ...

Pros: we finally get some meat on the disc Cons: non-spectacular color
In case you've never heard of or seen Reservoir Dogs, let me set one thing straight right at the outset: The film has nothing to do with canines living in a place where water is collected and kept for use when wanted.
The story is actually an...

Pros: Excellent acting, steady direction, well told story Cons: Hard to say, may have to watch it a few times to really enjoy it
After watching and enjoy Pulp Fiction it was inevitable that I saw Reservoir dogs. It usually doesnt get the same praise Pulp Fiction gets but is just as good. Both of those films are just so different that you simply cant compare Pulp Fiction ...

Pros: Harvey Keitel's performance, great directing Cons: Overuse of violence, mediocre performances from the rest of the cast
I hoped onto the Tarantino bandwagon a little late. The first movie of his that I saw was Kill Bill, and it immediately won me over. The style shined through with the use of music, violence, and a well written script. So, considering how much I ...

Pros: . Cons: .
Reservoir Dogs, which was quietly made in 1992 by video store clerk and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino, with the backing (and name) of Harvey Keitel in a starring role, changed the way movies are made. You might find this ridiculous -- Tarantino does ...

Pros: Amazing acting, soundtrack, some directing, some writing Cons: Some writing, boring, some directing, flaws
If half stars were available on Epinions, I’d give Reservoir Dogs 2.5 stars. This is actually a 2.5 star review, but since half stars aren’t allowed, I brought it down to 2 stars, since I think it’s more worthy of 2 stars than 3. I’m one of the few ...

Pros: Very intense, Mr. Blonde, Tarantino's solid debut, fitting ending, stylish, good performances. Cons: characters lack depth, too violent for some. Has become a little pretentious.
Reservoir Dogs heralded the arrival of one of the single most cult-followed directors in movie history, Quentin Tarantino. With his 1994 masterpiece, Pulp Fiction and recent comeback with Kill Bill, Tarantino has solidified himself ...

Pros: Innovative use of pacing and plot reveal, catchy dialogue setup, creative DVD design Cons: Annoying use of language and perverse dialogue
Reservoir Dogs is one of those movies that was pretty good when I first saw it but not so good once I knew what happens. Granted there are still elements I still like, but as a whole it was ehhh… okay. Everyone knows by now what the movie is ...

Pros: Fascinating look at honor (and lack of it) among thieves Cons: Be prepared for gallons of blood-letting
In Reservoir Dogs, the head-honcho villain Joe (Lawrence Tierney) assigns generic names to the men hired to carry out his plan: Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), and so on. Similarly, writer-director ...

Pros: Good Acting, Some interesting characters, Concept, Mood Cons: Carnage, Too much exposition, Lack of Fleshing Out of Some Characters
Quentin Tarantino seems to be one of those directors whose work people either love or hate. It's rare to find someone with a middle-of-the-road view on the way he continually pushes the envelope with violence in his movies. At long last, I was able to ...
