Tarantino's first punch!

You can never get tired of Quentin Tarantino's movies. Well, maybe the Kill Bill Volumes but certainly not Reservoir Dogs. With such extreme focus on blood, violence, characters & pop-culture laden dialogue, there was little wonder why Reservoir Dogs became such a big hit and is still a favourite among movie appreciaters today.

Arguably the best dis-organized crime movie I've seen which delivers all goods and keeps you fixed onto the screen. This film ain't Titanic or Forrest Gump in which haters can view their opinions or dislikes. This film doesn't leave room for arguments or debates or any of that sort of nonsense. This film does nothing but command respect and just like wine and Meryl Streep, is getting better with time. Maybe it's because of the lack of Reservoir Dogs-esque movies we're getting? Maybe no-one has come up with a better torture scene? Whatever the reason might be, Reservoir Dogs is always fun to visit and the memorable scenes & dialogues just won't leave the head.

In this film there are 2 plots running at the same time: The robbery-gone-wrong-and-we-must-find-the-rat plot and the Mr. Orange-and-Mr. White subplot. These two people, out of the whole six, are shown in a father-son relationship and if you look it from their points of view, both acted as heroes, or at least anti-heroes, in their own rights. Their progress throughout the film is expertly shown from Mr. White taking care of Mr. Orange, even to the point of pointing a gun at Joe's face, his long-time friend but ends up shooting Mr. Orange himself after when the latter admits his is a cop. Truly an excellent moment there as Mr. White hesistants and realizes his mistake he had been covering 'the rat' all the time... and they both wind up dead anyhow!

From the great ensemble cast, I frankly think that Tim Roth, the rat-cop Mr. Orange, should've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor as he gave one of his best performances - alongside Rob Roy. Everyone was perfect in their own way but there was something about Tim Roth's performance that dominated the screen whenever he opened his mouth and his bloody passed-out body, a position which he remains for literally the whole movie, only makes his character more great. If you're questioning this, I suggest you watch the part in the car after when he is shot or the part with the commode story.

In conclusion, this is a must see movie but be warned: When Mr. Blonde starts dancing, close your eyes and lower the volume... Or skip all that!
