Quentin Tarantino is synonymous with cult films. He has , to date, made 9 films from different genres, including westerns (Django Unchained, Hateful Eight) war films (Inglorious Basterds) and even East Asian action (Kill BIll Vol. 1).
But for me, the genre Tarantino nailed perfectly was crime. Hard boiled crime, to be exact.
Reservoir Dogs also happens to be Tarantinos first film, and although Pulp Fiction is generally considered his best effort, Reservoir Dogs sits atop the list for me. I first heard of Dogs through the media brouhaha around the scene with Michel Madsen's Mr Blond and a hostage, which, according to many UK media outlets, was all the film was about. Several even suggested the film should be banned, which seems crazy today.
The film tells the story of a disparate group of professional thieves who have brought together to pull off a jewellery heist. Through back and forth chapter storytelling, you learn more about the individual charachters as the heist plays out and the consequences when things don't go to plan.
Reservoir Dogs is superb film making but also benefits from some top class actors working for scale, meaning they were paid much less than they normally would be, in order to get the film made. This tells you all you need to know about how good the original script, also written by Tarantino, was. Everything works in this film, and it was so good I ended up watching it three times at the cinema.
