Reservoir Dogs

Arguably one of Quentin Tarintino's best movies, Reservoir Dogs redefined the entire genre of action movies. Told mostly in flashbacks and almost entirely in words it is difficult to believe Tarantino is able to capture his audience with no more than a flawlessly written script and some black ties. The banter between characters makes the movie less about the heist itself and draws focus to the puzzling relationships of our protagonists. Having the opening scene filled with what later makes itself clear to be foreshadowing, we are quickly introduced to the characters, as well as develop strong connections to them. This sets up for the main conflict of the film, who the informant among them is. Since we feel so invested in every character, as they are portrayed as the "good wholesome criminal" we find it difficult to believe there is an informant at all. Gripping and unique I recommend Reservoir Dogs to anyone interested in an atypical action movie.
