New York Daily News

This movie isn't really about anything. It's just a flashy, stylistically daring exercise in cinematic mayhem.

Entertainment Weekly

Reservoir Dogs is funny, thrilling, and so unabashedly violent it both shocks you and leaves you giddy at your own capacity for shock.

TV Guide

Both blood-soaked and, in its formal symmetry, darkly funny.

Film Threat

I can't remember a movie getting me so excited about what you could do with a little bit of money, some fine actors, and lots of beautifully profane rhythmic dialogue.

The Washington Post

It's brutal, it's funny and you won't forget it.

Variety

Grabs 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

Modestly budgeted crime movie of sometimes dazzling cinematic pyrotechnics and over-the- top dramatic energy.

Roger Ebert

The movie feels like it's going to be terrific, but Tarantino's script doesn't have much curiosity about these guys.

Hollywood Reporter

Those who survive it emerge in a shell-shocked euphoria -- so good and so blunt is the writing.

Empire Magazine

Remarkable macho crime caper that is at once violent, sickeningly funny and utterly compelling.

BBC

Tarantino exploits audience savvy, preferring to build anticipation, mesmerise, and then cut away at the climax.
