Reviews for Reservoir Dogs
Top Critic Tarantino exploits audience savvy, preferring to build anticipation, mesmerise, and then cut away at the climax.

Top Critic [A] remarkable macho crime caper that is at once violent, sickeningly funny and utterly compelling.

Undeniably impressive pic grabs the viewer by the lapels and shakes hard, but it also is about nothing other than a bunch of macho guys and how big their guns are.
03/13/07
Top Critic It's unclear whether this macho thriller does anything to improve the state of the world or our understanding of it, but it certainly sets off enough rockets to hold and shake us for every one of its 99 minutes.
03/13/07
You may not like the terms Tarantino sets, but you have to admit he succeeds on them.
02/27/07
A highly cinematic blast for those who can stomach its brutality...Like Glengarry Glen Ross with guns.
01/09/07
Structurally, Tarantino may have borrowed from Kubrick's crimers and Hong Kong films, but for a debut, it's brilliantly written and acted and it captures the paranoia of white working-class men, threatened by gays, women and other groups.

Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere with perhaps the most astonishing, explosive American debut film since John Cassavetes' Shadows.
02/04/06
You don't have to love it to be impressed with its riveting treatment of criminals in action.
06/28/05
The one QT film that always manages to rope a knot in my stomach and keep a firm grip, pulling, twisting, tightening and re-tying it.
03/09/04
For Tarantino, the age of heroic competence is as dead as his characters are at the fadeout.
07/30/03
A small, modestly budgeted crime movie of sometimes dazzling cinematic pyrotechnics and over-the- top dramatic energy.
05/20/03
Top Critic A nasty, unchained beast with teeth as sharp as razors. And it's a dog that proudly leads the pack of the very finest crime films.
