"Reservoir Dogs" is Quentin Tarantino's first official film (he'd been making student films & shorts for a while before it was released). It was screened at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival to amazing critical acclaim, and it's an undeniable fact that it launched Tarantino's brilliant career in filmmaking. Harvey Keitel, otherwise known as Mr. White, may be largely attributed for the making of this movie - he read Tarantino's screenplay, through Lawrence Bender (producer), and absolutely loved it. That marks the birth of "Reservoir Dogs."
Nothing can be said about this spectacular film that hasn't been said already. The ensemble cast is magnificent, with Keitel, Michael Madsen, and Steve Buscemi giving especially remarkable performances. Tarantino as the hilarious Mr. Brown is an absolute delight to watch. Tarantino's writing and directing are, as usual, ridiculously superb. The movie itself is hysterical, tragic, insightful, suspenseful, mysterious, provocative. In simpler words, it's a classic.
If you have yet to watch this breakthrough whirlwind of a movie, you will not regret your purchase. If you're simply buying it because you've already fallen in love with it, then you know how it feels, and you won't hesitate for a minute.
Recommended for all movie buffs anywhere and everywhere. A masterpiece!
