Five total strangers teamed up for the perfect crime. But something went wrong. Something got f---ed up. One of the men is the rat, an infiltrator working for the cops. But who?

Reservoir Dogs will always go down as one of the most violent yet brilliant pieces of work ever to be shown on the silver screen. Tarrentino's script is brilliant and what is even more amazing is that it is his first movie. The acting is top grade , all the actors seem to come up with the performance of lives. There were calls when the film was released for it to be banned by the lilly livered liberals and while this is bloody and the language is coarse, for it to be banned would have deprived us of a classic Hollywood movie that oozes class as well as blood! 10 out of 10

I have to say, I disagree, and didn't find 90 minutes of blokes shouting and swearing at each other in an empty warehouse, in the least bit entertaining. OK, so the odd few scenes of blood and violence broke the monotony to some degree, but it's not a movie I would want to sit through again.

I found it Riveting from start to finish, compared to most other hollywood predictable rubish that gets churned out :wink:

yes, it is definetely intriguing since it is not the run of the mill b******t that hollywood can produce

I think you have to see this movie a couple of times to appreciate it.

I didn't like it the first time round but quite enjoyed it the second viewing.

Same with Pulp Fiction. I hated it the first time I saw it but thoroughly enjoyed it the second time.

I think all Tarrentino's movie's are better the more you watch them.

By coincidence theres a film on BBC2 this sunday coming, no good for you though Gmax, called The Asphalt Jungle.

Its a 1950 film and it says that its the film that Tarantino derived many of his ideas for Reservoir Dogs from

Could be worth watching just to see Marlyn Monroe's first leading part.

It was her first major actiong role where she plays the gangster's moll.

She had quite a lot of scenes in it and it is said that it was her part in Asphalt Jungle that brought her to fame.
