Review by John Stedman on 4th November 1999 Hard-hitting, confrontational heist movie with a twist from the enfant terrible of the early 90s. The director adopts an "answers first, questions later" approach which makes for an involving movie of great power. Excellent story, brilliant foreshadowing and sparse photgraphy all draw the audience in to a tale which is a perfect vehicle for Buscemi and Keitel to act as if their lives depended on it. Somewhat theatrical in parts, and with some pacing errors to be expected of a fledgling director, the film sparked off a new direction in mainstream cinema and is well worth seeing again.

Review by Wolfram Parge on 26th April 2002 This was a landmark film and quite a refreshing spark in the melee of Hollywood productions that remains increasingly watchable ten years after it was first released. It’s the story of a gang of criminals and an armed robbery which goes badly wrong when a swarm of cops descend on the men. Told alternately in flashbacks and real-time, several of the band begin to suspect a set-up and make frantic attempts to unravel the traitor. Turning the aftermath of the heist into a feature length movie made for striking entertainment in a script peppered with mischievous humour and mad brutality. Quentin Tarantino places us right in the heart of the action in an unprecedented way, has us dancing along to some spirited old 70s tunes but repels us equally as well with Michael Madsen’s psychotic character. There are strong performances from Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Lawrence Tierney, including the writer/director himself. As a gangster movie full of double-crosses and dangerous situations, Reservoir Dogs ranks as one of the best of its kind. View more reviews by Wolfram Parge

by Peter Wild
There is nobody quite like Takeshi Kitano. Not in the East, not in the West. Nobody. It's difficult, at first, to come to terms with precisely what this means.
