Reservoir Dogs: Excellent

I got this on DVD last weekend but didn't get a chance to
see it until Friday night with Lindsey. I was taken
aback--wonderful film. I really loved how the movie
actually feels boxed in because most of it takes place in
the warehouse and what doesn't happen there, is inbetween
the larger, on-going warehouse scene, so as a viewer, you
don't feel like you get out--you kinda stick with Mr.
Orange, which is truly a bold effect!
I just found it to be a really powerful film-- so many
dynamic performances and a credible script.
Any thoughts?

Reservoir Dogs is intense--it's refreshing.
In my opinion, since around 1998, movies kinda sank
downhill. There have been several good ones, but most of
what comes out isn't really for me. Sequels, dumb comedies,
and all these marvel comics action character movies just
don't appeal to me, so it's refreshing to find something
like Reservoir Dogs that is really, really gripping and it
sucks you in--fantastic picture!

it's a great film..........and it's a remake, isn't it? of
a Hong-Kong film? So it makes it into two threads today!

Nope, not at all?
There's information in a special content about
that--Tarantino had a quote misinterpreted as he remade a
hong kong film.
It's original--it's superb!

This is the best tarantino movie so far.

The movie purely relies on the power of dialogues, insanely
intense.

though pulp fiction still doesn't bore me either

Watching it again the only thing that doesn't really work
for me is Tim Roth. Tarantino originally wanted James Woods
for the role of Mr Orange (Woods' agent turned down the part
five times without telling him; he was subsequently fired).
Roth is a great actor but he's not believable in this movie
imo, he's done far better.

Kietel is the man in this film. He's brilliant.

its not a remake but apparently it shares a lot of plot
similarities with a film called city on fire, directed by
ringo lam. the end scene is very similar aswell. reservoir
dogs is still great though! im looking forward to seeing
kill bill!

His film after Kill Bill will be Glorious Bastards, a WW2
film! Can't wait t see his take on that even more!

I love the dialogues. The 'stuck in the middle with you'
scene is classic. Great cast also (I love buscemi).

"Natural Born Killers" is the best Tarantino-written movie
I've seen.
It is such a masterpiece, directed by Oliver Stone...
