Cressida Ward and Daniel Levine from Food Tryb Table podcast join Flixwatcher to review Cressida’s choice Reservoir Dogs.
Reservoir Dogs is the debut feature-length film from Quentin Tarantino. Released in 1992 it stars Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Lawrence Tierney, Michael Madsen, Quentin Tarantino, and Edward Bunker as diamond thieves caught up in a heist gone wrong when one of the gang is discovered to be an undercover cop.
It features what we now know and recognize at Tarantino traits – violent crime, pop culture references, profanity, and nonlinear storytelling – possibly marking the arrival of modern cinema as we know it. Uncharacteristically though for a Tarantino film though the runtime is a punchy 99 minutes.
Scores
| Recommendability | Repeat Viewing | Small Screen Score | Engagement | Overall | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dan | 5 | 3.1 | 2.5 | 4 | 3.65000 |
| Cressida | 5 | 3.8 | 2.7 | 3.5 | 3.75000 |
| Helen | 4.7 | 3 | 3.5 | 4 | 3.80000 |
| Kobi | 4.5 | 3.1 | 4 | 4.3 | 3.97500 |
| 4.8 | 3.25 | 3.175 | 3.95 | 3.79375 |
Iconic, violent, endless quotable, the answer to your hipster Halloween costumes, Tarantino might have made much better films since but Reservoir Dogs paved the way for independent filmmaking and is essential Tarantino viewing. Reservoir Dogs scores 3.79 overall, losing a couple of points on repeat viewing and small screen.
