Product Description
Four Perfect Killers. One Perfect Crime. Critically acclaimed for its raw power and breathtaking ferocity, it's the brilliant American gangster movie classic from writer-director Quentin Tarantino. They were perfect strangers, assembled to pull off the perfect crime. Then their simple robbery explodes into bloody ambush, and the ruthless killers realize one of them is a police informer. But which one?
Amazon.com
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

The film tells an over-the-top story of the heist of a Los Angeles diamond store. Five thugs are recruited for the job by mastermind Joe Cabot (Gene Tierney) and the heist is carefully planned. The trouble is that one of the thugs is an undercover cop. The heist goes awry with much senseless killing.
The film is told in a non-linear manner from the perspective of each hoodlum so that the viewer gradually gets a complete picture of what transpires. Most of the film is shot in the cavernous warehouse where the gang is to meet up after the heist. There are also scenes of the failed heist and a long opening scene with the gang gathered together in a coffee shop before the robbery begins. There are many scenes of Los Angeles streets and places.
The film has a feel of bravura and creativity. The acting is sharp and the dialogue colloquial and profane. There is a sense of spontaneity and abandon enhanced by the reference to popular culture, music film, and language.
The film is also wildly violent in its action and in its language. It is known for a torture scene at about mid-point which many viewers have found nearly unbearable. For the most part, the movie seemed to me so self-absorbed, so full of gusto, and so extreme, that it lacked most of the grit of a classic crime movie. It is easy to have questions about the casual violence and killing in this film and in many of Tarrantino's later films.
"Reservoir Dogs" has become a cult film and many viewers and critics rate it highly indeed. I admire the hubris and the style of this movie as well as its ability to provoke and entertain. I saw it as much more of a black comedy than a crime film. For me, the film was a guilty pleasure, but more.

'Reservoir dogs', la ópera prima del director, nos muestra ya desde un inicio lo que se convertiría en una tradición del cine de Tarantino: escenas memorables que se volvieron icónicas por su contenido y por la música que les acompaña.
La escena al inicio donde los perros de reserva caminan en cámara lenta al ritmo de 'Little green bag' o la escena de tortura con Mr. Blonde mientras escucha 'Stuck in the middle with you' son tan sólo dos ejemplos de esto.
El transfer a 4K es impecable y es de una mejoría significativa sobre mi vieja copia en Bluray. Esto resulta en que detalles que antes no eran muy notorios ahora lo sean (algunas composiciones durante la escena de tortura tienen un efecto "borroso" que antes no era tan perceptible)
Recomendadísima.
Como nota adicional, la copia que recibí de la película ya no trae el slipcover, pero además venía emplayada en un plático que no es el original. Al removerlo, había residuos del emplaye original pegados a la caja. Esto me hizo pensar que mi copia probablemente fuera un devolución así que solicité un cambio (principalmente por la copia digital) La segunda copia que recibí venía igual, por si a alguien mas le sucede, pareciera que asi es como vienen.

What can be said that Reservoir Dogs that hasn't already been said? A seminal piece of filmmaking, not to say controversial due to the moral outcry that followed it after its release due to its scenes of violence. Probably not helped by the campaign only just having been waged by the gutter press against, Child's Play 3, which it was erroneously said to have influenced the murder, of two-year-old Jamie Bulger in the UK, by two 10-year-old boys in 1993. In fact, the VHS release of the movie at the time was postponed until 1995 due to the British Board of Film Classification initially refusing the film a home video certificate (UK releases are required to be certified separately for theatrical release and for viewing at home). Fortunately, we now live in more liberal times, and the movie has gained a major cult following, and understandably so.
Marking the directorial debut of a then 29-year-old Quentin Tarantino, who had previously worked as a Video Clerk when he wrote the movie's screenplay. It was a highly impressive first feature, comprising motifs that have become trademarks of his. Violent crime, pop culture references, profanity, and nonlinear storytelling. Centering around a botched diamond heist, part of the selling point of the movie, is its witty, superb dialogue. Whether it be a discussion about the lyrics to Madonna's, Like a Virgin to the ethics of tipping, Tarantino displays a perfect ear for it.
What elevates it even more though is the relationship between Harvey Keitel's Mr. Brown and Tim Roth's Mr. Orange. Two of the careers criminals who up until recently have been relative strangers, but when Orange is seriously wounded in the midst of them both making their getaway, Brown displays compassion, being a source of comfort to his wounded companion. There is an undeniable bond that begins to develop between each man, which makes the old adage of honor among thieves ring very much true. Dissimilarly, the relationship between Brown and Mr. Pink is less harmonious and more prickly, not helped by the fact that Pink is arguably the shadiest and self-serving. However, he's also very pragmatic, being much of the time, the voice of reason with lots of smarts, and while not physically the most threatening proves to be the one character to not be underestimated. Although his pragmatism at times comes to the chagrin of Brown.
When Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) however finally arrives on the scene is where the situation really hots up, and tensions intensify more so. He is undoubtedly the most unpredictable of the movie's gang of rogues. Played with a cool, icy demeanor by Madsen, beneath that coolness lies the heart of a merciless, sadistic psychopath. In his presence, the atmosphere swiftly and undeniably takes on an air of unease and volatility. With this none more so encapsulated in the infamous torture scene which plays out to the strains of Gerry Rafferty's Stuck in the Middle with You.
With the non-linear structure which he would use arguably use to his best and ingenious effect in Pulp Fiction, flashbacks to both Brown and Blonde meeting with Joe and Eddie Cabot serve to flush out both men's relationships, with the Crime Boss and his son. Bringing an added dimension to the dynamic of how the story plays out. Eddie's unwavering trust in Blonde, and the precarious division of loyalties that Brown finds himself being faced with.
The performances from the cast are uniformly first-rate, with each of its stars working off one another exceptionally. Not least of all Tim Roth, executed a pitch-perfect U. S. accent, with there being no trace of his cockney accent at all. And it may come as some surprise that Eddie Bunker, cast in the small role of Mr. Blue was an ex-convicted felon, who had gone on to become an author of crime fiction, which lends the movie a further air of authenticity.
Needless to say, Reservoir Dogs broke the mold and ushered in a new era of filmmaking. Admittedly, I can't say Tarantino's career hasn't gone unblemished since, as I'm of the unpopular opinion that Jackie Brown reprinted the nadir of his work, and Death Proof more so. Nevertheless, he's hit more than he has missed, and his debut is a testament to what lay ahead for him.
Le film est en lui-même impeccable, les acteurs jouent avec un naturel que l'on ne retrouve déjà plus à mon sens dans Pulp Fiction et encore moins dans les suivants. La capacité de nous transporter avec des conversations que l'on jugerait banales et qui sont portées par un jeu d'acteur excellent font de Reservoir Dogs un hit à voir, revoir et encore revoir. Il fait partie de ces perles que vous vous honorerez toujours de posséder dans votre collection.
Tout en restant sobre au niveau de l'aspect visuel, le scénario étant lui-même simple, ce film réussit le pari de faire un film qui a plus que "l'air naturel".
Zarte Gemüter, die mit Tarantino bislang nicht vertraut sind (eigentlich kaum vorstellbar aber soll es ja geben ;-) ) seien aber zumindest gewarnt, dass die FSK 18 - Freigabe nicht willkürlich und zufällig erfolgt ist. In Tarantinos Filmen - auch in diesem - geht es zur Sache. Er stellt Gewalt mit einem gewissen Genuss dar, man könnte es vielleicht sogar als Gewalt verherrlichend betrachten. Allerdings ist es aus meiner Sicht eher eindeutig ein ironisch - sarkastischer Umgang mit dem Thema Gewalt, weil er sie doch arg überspitzt, mit Unmengen künstlichen Blutes versehen und häufig in Verbindung mit skurril - komischen Dialogen oder Handlungsweisen der Charaktere darstellt.
Zur Blu Ray selbst kann ich nicht allzu viel sagen, da ich überhaupt kein Technik - Freak bin, dazu mögen sich diejenigen äußern, die etwas davon verstehen. Ich fand Bild und Ton prima, und die Menge und Art der Extras ist sowieso immer Geschmackssache. Da die Blu Ray darüber hinaus auch noch preiswert war, gibt es von mir überzeugte 5 Sterne und eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
