RESERVOIR DOGS: Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut 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 criminals to 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 Joe's son--begin to unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.
