Product Description
Lionsgate Reservoir Dogs (Blu-ray)Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantinos 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 criminalsto 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), Joes son--begin to unravel as thepressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.

Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them color-coded aliases (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, Mr. White) to conceal their identities from being known even to each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception, and betrayal. As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn, and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful, and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson

If you have never seen, one of my favorites. A lot of twists and turns in plot. Masterful suspense.

Tarantino's First Feature Sets The Pattern by Zarathustra (Sacramento, CA USA)

Many of the techniques, such as violence and time shifting, used in Reservoir Dogs can be found in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, but this gangster film of a robbery gone terribly wrong is worth owning for the fine actors involved (Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Lawrence Tierney and Michael Madsen) and the excellent direction by Quentin Tarantino. Reservoir Dogs looks great in blu-ray.

IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY by Josef Bush (Phoenix, AZ)

Frightening? Dangerous? Like life in Texas, it simply is what it is. Can't stand it? Can't change it. Get out, if and when you can. Or better, it's like life and language in the criminal clsses. Not among the white collar criminals, the ivy league chislers, but the penetentiary guys. So, the lower classes; the guys who aren't afraid of guns or violence. Not at all the slick grifters who hire out of Washington and New York, who -- when and if they do get caught and sentenced -- serve time in country club prisons. The language is coarse and bracingly authentic. The much-needed anthesis of PC. Everything the Amazons write about the movie is true, even though it is an old one: Vintage Tarrantino. But this is not yet another exercise in gratuitous profane language or obsenity; not a Broadway novelty to shock the B&T suburbanites. This is like Catullus for the screen -- (Mamet is probably still gnawing his guts out in envy) -- and now we find that Tarrantino has given us an exacting moral portrait of the former Vice President in torture lust. Worth every penny, every minute. Think: the Professional Criminal classes are only other Americans that have been ignored. Do they not bleed like the rest of us?

Worst Movie Ever by Hello

[...] Perfect example of a movie with a great cast and garbage for plot and production. I think the film I turned in for my 7th grade English project was better than this. If I could go back in time I would go back to when I was about to rent this movie and then punch myself in the stomach and steal my wallet. At least it wasn't as bad as Inkheart. That movie was horrible. But I would rather watch Hannah Montana season 1 than waste my time on Reservoir Dogs.

Reservoir dogs in HD are worth the upgrade (Actual Bluray review) by R. Suarez Giacoman (Mc Allen, Texas United States)

Presented in its original aspect ratio, with a DTS HD audio and Dolby 5.1 tracks included and with English and Spanish subtitles, 'Reservoir dogs' is presented in Bluray format. The question I had before getting this was if it would be worth to purchase again a movie I already owned in 2 anniversary editions in DVD, well after watching it I can tell you it is definitely worth the upgrade. The HD transfer is excellent, even though you can tell it is a movie from the 90's the level of details and color quality is eye-popping. As you can imagine and if you are familiar with Quentin Tarantino's movie soundtracks, the audio also presents a major upgrade over its DVD counterpart. A feature called the 'Pulp factoids viewer' is included which made me rediscover the movie, a lot of information on the movie appears on screen while you watch it, the Tarantino references to Scagnetti, the snake charmer (Bill from 'Kill Bill') as well as fun and technical facts were fun to read while watching the films. Besides this feature 2 documentaries are included: 'Playing it fast and loose' and 'Profiling the reservoir dogs'. Other than that, not all the special features from the anniversary DVD editions are included, which is a shame as that is what is making me keep my original DVD copies of the same movie. With a price that is quite insulting to the quality of this release, as a fan of the movie I can tell you the Hi-Def presentation improves the experience of watching 'Reservoir dogs' again.
