Reservoir Dogs
Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut. A mob boss hires six strangers to pull off a jewelry store heist. They are knicknamed to hide their identities: Mr White (Harvey Keitel), Mr Orange (Tim Roth), Mr Blonde (Michael Madsen), Mr Pink (Steve Buscemi), Mr Brown (Tarantino) and Mr Blue (Edward Bunker).
The plan backfires and Mr Brown is shot. The survivors gather back at their rendezvous warehouse and realise one of them must be a policement informant, who gave the game away. But who?

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressGrabs the viewer by the lapels and shakes hard, but it also is about nothing other than a bunch of macho guys and how big their guns are.
The New York Times
pressModestly budgeted crime movie of sometimes dazzling cinematic pyrotechnics and over-the- top dramatic energy.
Roger Ebert
pressThe movie feels like it's going to be terrific, but Tarantino's script doesn't have much curiosity about these guys.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThose who survive it emerge in a shell-shocked euphoria -- so good and so blunt is the writing.
Empire Magazine
pressRemarkable macho crime caper that is at once violent, sickeningly funny and utterly compelling.
BBC
pressTarantino exploits audience savvy, preferring to build anticipation, mesmerise, and then cut away at the climax.
