Reservoir Dogs

[KLAXXON]

A group of criminals carry out a jewel heist which results in a battle with the police to secure an escape. Suspicions are roused at the readiness of the police and an informer is sought.



Set in one location (with flashbacks) a smatter of gangsters debate the aftermath of a bungled heist.



Already finding himself referred to in the same breath as Scorsese, director Quentin Tarantino, aided and abetted by star and co-producer Harvey Keitel, plunges headlong into his debut feature, a quite remarkable macho crime caper that is at once violent, sickeningly funny and utterly compelling.

Residents of present-day Los Angeles, the "Dogs" are a band of hardened professionals recruited for a diamond heist - ultimately bungled - with the action picking up as the gang return individually to an empty warehouse, their pre-arranged getaway rendezvous. And it is here that Tarantino immediately sets out his agenda, ripping the guts out of the conventions of the heist movie by ignoring the stick-up altogether.

Choosing to concentrate on the aftermath, he veers off instead - within the claustrophobic confines of the hideaway and in the context of Real Time - into psychological drama, with the paranoid hoods recounting their own version of events in a bid to determine just who might be the rat in the house responsible for tipping off the cops.

A strong ensemble cast, for reasons of security known to each other by their colour-coded names - principally Mr. White (Keitel), Mr. Pink (Buscemi), Mr. Blonde (Madsen) and Mr. Orange (Roth) - each has his own story, prefaced by the character's name, flashed up on the screen in chapter-like fashion.

And, as if this novelistic distortion of chronology isn't enough, Tarantino has invested in his film an almost timeless quality: there are few contemporary reference points, the gang sports caricatured 60s Blues Brothers garb, and proceedings are underscored magnificently by a golden oldie radio station pumping out a series of bubblegum hits from the 70s.

Punctuated by some snappy dialogue - "Someone's sticking a red hot poker up our ass and I want to know whose name is on the handle" - the humour is juxtaposed with a series of increasingly harrowing events as the story is jolted, by a brilliant twist, towards its denouement.

Nasty, brutish and relatively short, this ultimately succeeds through its top-notch performances, most notably from Keitel's seasoned criminal suddenly seized by a sense of morality, Roth's floundering Mr. Orange and Steve Buscemi's brilliantly antagonistic Mr. Pink. The hippest crime flick this side of Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs has all the hallmarks of a modern classic.



Seminal, in terms of its discursive dialogue, bursts of ultra-violence and unsettling machismo, Reservoir Dogs still seems groundbreaking.
