[Movie 150 / Day 161]
A group of thieves, known only by aliases, rob a jewellers but someone double crosses them turning the job into a messy bloodbath. Simple, but executed brilliantly.
I hadn’t seen Reservoir Dogs for at least a decade, and I’d forgotten just how good it is. Quentin Tarantino’s breakthrough film had a tiny budget but was just dripping with style and cool dialogue.
Only bettered by his follow up, Pulp Fiction, after which everything started to slide.
Easily the best role I’ve ever seen Tim Roth in; however, the stand out is Michael Madsen, who plays a stone cold killer perfectly whilst looking and acting like an ice cool dude.
Love it.
