3/4  Solid Screenplay
This film is difficult not to admire because it’s spot-on in many levels. The acting is incendiary, the characters are interesting, there are a number of extremely memorable scenes, and the dialogue is brilliant. The only thing that hinder... (read full)

4/4  I don't believe in tipping.
Violent and very disturbing but also one of the most interesting films ever made. This movie was very low budget, but the way that it was shot and the action that surrounds it makes it seem bigger than it should be. Nearly every scene take... (read full)

3/4  Reservoir Dogs Quick Review
It was pretty good. It just wasn't as good as what people were saying.

1.5/4  Reservoir Dogs Quick Review
Even though I like Tarantino, this movie never got me. The "ear" scene was good. And I liked the Tim Roth character. But everything else I hated!

4/4  Reservoir Dogs Quick Review
Voilent, brutal, a killer soundtrack - must be Quentin Tarantino. You've got another great cast, this time planning a heist that goes wrong. Good guys, bad guys and one scene you will never forget (you know - the ear thing). A great ride.

4/4  Reservoir Dogs Quick Review
Not as good as Pup Fiction, this one starts it all and has incredible music, great acting, cool scenes and a "new way" of telling a story. But, it is a rip off of Kubrick's "The Killing" (which as you can see by my rating, doesn't bother me).

5/5 Classic

If you have never seen, one of my favorites. A lot of twists and turns in plot. Masterful suspense.

5/5 Tarantino's First Feature Sets The Pattern
  by Zarathustra (Sacramento, CA USA)
Many of the techniques, such as violence and time shifting, used in Reservoir Dogs can be found in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, but this gangster film of a robbery gone terribly wrong is worth owning for the fine actors involved (Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Lawrence Tierney and Michael Madsen) and the excellent direction by Quentin Tarantino.
Reservoir Dogs looks great in blu-ray.

4/5 IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
  by Josef Bush (Phoenix, AZ)
Frightening? Dangerous? Like life in Texas, it simply is what it is. Can't stand it? Can't change it. Get out, if and when you can.

Or better, it's like life and language in the criminal clsses. Not among the white collar criminals, the ivy league chislers, but the penetentiary guys. So, the lower classes; the guys who aren't afraid of guns or violence. Not at all the slick grifters who hire out of Washington and New York, who -- when and if they do get caught and sentenced -- serve time in country club prisons. The language is coarse and bracingly authentic. The much-needed anthesis of PC.

Everything the Amazons write about the movie is true, even though it is an old one: Vintage Tarrantino. But this is not yet another exercise in gratuitous profane language or obsenity; not a Broadway novelty to shock the B&T suburbanites. This is like Catullus for the screen -- (Mamet is probably still gnawing his guts out in envy) -- and now we find that Tarrantino has given us an exacting moral portrait of the former Vice President in torture lust. Worth every penny, every minute.

Think: the Professional Criminal classes are only other Americans that have been ignored. Do they not bleed like the rest of us?


1/5 Worst Movie Ever
  by Hello
[...] Perfect example of a movie with a great cast and garbage for plot and production. I think the film I turned in for my 7th grade English project was better than this. If I could go back in time I would go back to when I was about to rent this movie and then punch myself in the stomach and steal my wallet. At least it wasn't as bad as Inkheart. That movie was horrible. But I would rather watch Hannah Montana season 1 than waste my time on Reservoir Dogs.

4/5 Reservoir dogs in HD are worth the upgrade (Actual Bluray review)
  by R. Suarez Giacoman (Mc Allen, Texas United States)
Presented in its original aspect ratio, with a DTS HD audio and Dolby 5.1 tracks included and with English and Spanish subtitles, 'Reservoir dogs' is presented in Bluray format.

The question I had before getting this was if it would be worth to purchase again a movie I already owned in 2 anniversary editions in DVD, well after watching it I can tell you it is definitely worth the upgrade. The HD transfer is excellent, even though you can tell it is a movie from the 90's the level of details and color quality is eye-popping. As you can imagine and if you are familiar with Quentin Tarantino's movie soundtracks, the audio also presents a major upgrade over its DVD counterpart.

A feature called the 'Pulp factoids viewer' is included which made me rediscover the movie, a lot of information on the movie appears on screen while you watch it, the Tarantino references to Scagnetti, the snake charmer (Bill from 'Kill Bill') as well as fun and technical facts were fun to read while watching the films. Besides this feature 2 documentaries are included: 'Playing it fast and loose' and 'Profiling the reservoir dogs'. Other than that, not all the special features from the anniversary DVD editions are included, which is a shame as that is what is making me keep my original DVD copies of the same movie.

With a price that is quite insulting to the quality of this release, as a fan of the movie I can tell you the Hi-Def presentation improves the experience of watching 'Reservoir dogs' again.
