Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly A fond genre move that's forever chortling up its sleeve at the puerile idiocy of the genre, a heist caper without a heist, an action movie that's hopelessly in love with talk and a poem to the sexiness of storytelling. Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Joe Pollack St. Louis Post-Dispatch The story is as phony as the names the robbers take - Mr. White, Mr. Blue, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Pink and Mr. Brown - and it's also a hymn to violence, blood and sadism that reaches repulsive levels. Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Jay Carr Boston Globe And while Tarantino never quite succeeds in putting around each character the sense of isolation that marks the best noirs, he carries off this exercise in lively fashion. It's more purple than noir, but it's got juice. Apr 27, 2018 Full Review John Brhel Vague Visages Reservoir Dogs is an impressive debut that reflects Tarantino's unique, postmodern style and points towards things to come. Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Precisely plotted and engagingly juggled into a rich swirl of flashbacks that wind through the current crisis, this is the work of a director who loves movies and a storyteller engaged with the art of telling stories. Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Paul Mount Starburst The film possesses a stomach-churning urgency following a deceptively languid opening... Rated: 5/5 Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Tarantino provides a consistent vision into his version of a mob story. I enjoy the nonlinear storytelling that many filmmakers have since copied.
