Synopsis:

Reservoir Dogs tells the tale of a bank robbery gone awry.  After a near-perfect planning of the caper, all seems to fallout and we are thrown immediately into the chaos of the main characters dealing with it.  Having about 80% of the style of Pulp Fiction, the dialogue is sharp and witty, drawing you into the personalities of the characters in a fantastic way.  Tarantino, playing Mr. Brown in the film, has one of the funniest rants about Madonna's Like A Virgin that somehow convinces you to see his point.

The Freak's Rating: A : Quite often a movie hits theaters, is greeted with critical praise and never finds an audience in mainstream America.  One of those films is Reservoir Dogs.  Due to the major success of Pulp Fiction, in 1994 audiences were clamoring for more Quentin Tarantino material.  Tarantino was heralded as a writer for the ages and soon everything he had penned was re-released for all to enjoy.

Reservoir Dogs is a historical must for anyone who likes style in their films.  Tarantino is the Godfather of dialogue-induced fictionary tales, creating the genre with Dogs and Pulp.  So grasshopper, absorb this one as a true history lesson should be ingested.

Brian's Rating: A- : This is a good movie that goes unheralded due to the fact that it falls in the shadow of Pulp Fiction.  Nevertheless, the unique directing style of Tarentino is evident in the film, and  the presentation of an otherwise vanilla bank robbery story is a masterpiece.  A couple of the cast from Pulp Fiction are previewed in the film, and like Pulp Fiction, the characters and the dialog make the film.  I do like the film quite alot, and have watched it several times, however its not quite in the ranks of Pulp Fiction.
