"Okay, first things fuckin' last!"

It was Quentin Tarantino's first feature film and to me it's his best, if your not counting True Romance which he only wrote. Reservoir Dogs is the pinnacle of how an action/drama should be made. There isn't many movies that compare to its writing, its acting or its tense scenes. The story deals with a group of criminals that are hired by a mob boss named Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) and his son Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn). To keep identities hidden, they are all given code names. Mr.White (Harvey Keitel), Mr.Blonde (Michael Madsen), Mr.Pink (Steve Buscemi), Mr.Orange (Tim Roth), Mr.Blue (Edward Bunker), and Mr.Brown (Quentin Tarantino). The group are supposed to rob a diamond store and the plan is pretty much perfect. But what the group doesn't know is that Mr.Orange is actually an undercover cop. His real name is Freddy Newandyke and has worked his way into Joe's trust. When the diamond heist goes wrong, everyone is to meet at an abandoned warehouse, so they can figure out what happened. Arguments and fighting starts because no one can tell who the rat is. Things get even more crazy when Mr.Blonde brings a kidnapped police officer back with him and begins to torture him. This movie is great from start to finish and I don't get how Tarantino wasn't nominated for his amazing script. The action is super and the film is directed beautifully. It has a few twists along the way, which makes the story even better. The famous "ear" scene will make your eyes widen, but still keep you watching. My Dvd is the Ten Years Special Edtion, which had 4 different front covers that were released. I could only find the Mr.Orange one, but there is also Mr.White, Mr.Pink and Mr.Blonde. There is a front cover sleeve, that opens up to show some info on Mr.Orange (Tim Roth) and a booklet, both with Mr.Orange on the front. Then the case has all 4 of the main characters on it as well. This edition is also a two-disc edition, and is probably the best Reservoir Dogs Dvd out in stores. This is definitely a great edition to any true movie lover's collection. Reservoir Dogs was released in 1992 and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Released by Miramax and Artisan Entertainment.
