Synopsis
Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut, RESERVOIR DOGS, is a brutally funny, supercharged introduction to his supremely distinct cinematic vision, which was later to become one of the most mimicked styles of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pull off a jewelry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediately clear that the plan backfired, forcing the survivors, who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse, to figure out if one of them is, in fact, a police informer. The crew Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), a psychopathic parolee; Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), a bickering weasel; and Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn), Joe's son begin to unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.Tarantino takes liberally from Hong Kong action flicks, most notably Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE, but his ultra-hip '70s soundtrack and hysterical pop culture dialogue make the film seem wholly original and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave most notably Jean-Luc Godard RESERVOIR DOGS remains one of the decade's most influential motion pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection in a Tin, 19 Nov 2008
By J. Pike "J.Pike" (Guernsey, Channel Islands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The film that introduced Quentin Tarantino to film fans and what a great film it is.

I remember going to the flicks with a few friends and we all decided to give this a try as nothing else caught our eye.

I had never seen a film like it and watching it 17 years later it is still a classic. Madsen is great as the psychotic Mr. Blonde and the infamous ear scene has become one of cinemas most famous.

The Blu ray version comes in a great display tin that looks great. Come nice inserts and the extras on the DVD are fantastic.

Add a great quality transfer of the film and you can't go wrong.

A 5 Star Blu Ray all the way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great film - badly packaged, 23 Dec 2008
When it comes to reviewing a modern classic presented in a new box, am I supposed to review it as though it's a new release or simply review the differences between this and the previous release? I have decided to review both old and new features separately.

The film itself is quite simply a masterpiece - and being presented in blu-ray only enhances the visual experience. Five stars for the film.

The packaging, however, is a different story. The handle on tin had fallen off before the package had even been delivered, and the plastic frame the disc sits in is not glued properly to the cardboard insert. All in all, the case is absolutely shoddy. It looks cheap, is badly thought out and is poorly assembled. Zero stars for the packaging.

So my dilemma is whether or not to give this release two or three stars overall. The price of the film is what made me round up rather than down. This is the only edition available in the UK and doesn't actually claim to be a special edition. There is no cheaper alternative, unless you import from the USA. I would recommend people DO import from the USA (if it happens to be cheaper at the time) - it really is not worth paying the extra for this awful, awful packaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Set, 23 April 2009
By J. Richards "Jimbob Rated R" (Caldicot, South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After watching this movie only once before and dying to see it again, i purchased this. I have to admit, it is a good design and comes with some nifty cards and a tin which sounds like a petrol can itself. Great movie as well, works brilliantly in High Definition to be fair as well.
