"If Quentin Tarantino's gritty, bone-chilling, powerfully violent film, Reservoir Dogs, doesn't pin your ears back, nothing ever will...[It's] as caustic as battery acid. It's brutal, it's funny and you won't forget it. Guaranteed." -Hal Hinson, THE WASHINGTON POST

Former video store clerk and motor-mouthed film historian Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut, RESERVOIR DOGS, is a brutally funny, supercharged introduction to his supremely distinct cinematic vision, which was later to become one of the most mimicked film styles of the 1990s.
Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pull off a jewelry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediately clear that the plan backfired, forcing the survivors, who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse, to figure out if one of them is, in fact, a police informer. The crew--Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), a psychopathic parolee; Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), a bickering weasel; and Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn), Joe's son--begin to unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes violently clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.
Borrowing liberally from Hong Kong action flicks, French New Wave classics and 70s gangster movies, Tarantino's ultra-hip, ultra-gory, pop culture-drenched crime thriller remains one of the decade's most influential motion pictures.
