Reservoir Dogs (1992) Review

Reservoir Dogs was Tarantino's debut. It has most elements of a tarantino classic. Great dialogue, great characters, awesome gore. But it doesn't have the runtime or the interest level of any of the other films. During an argument with Mr. White, Mr. Blonde says "Are you going to bark all day, little doggie, or are you going to bite?" I think that quote sums up the movie. It's all dialogue, but no action. There are little pieces of action to bring us back into the movie, but at certain points, the conversation gets too long and too boring. Especially with the unnecessary backstories. It sets Pulp Fiction up well and breaks new ground, but it doesn't compare to the quality of Tarantino's masterpiece.
Movie Rating: B
