The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Fast and fun the film is truly thrilling, set mostly in an isolated warehouse as the group attempt to uncover the truth whilst testing friendships and trust the style and focus upon mostly dialogue which is split by brief bursts of action it encapsulates the brilliance of the director and is worthy of the title 'classic'

Good job, that was crazy. I enjoyed too much with the game that Quentinusually likes to play. Now you are having fun like the moment of dance and then, PAM!, you have a cut ear. This contrast is shocking!

I won't hold back by saying at first this film is very confusing to the average viewer. The unconventional timeline and the many aliases used by the main characters make the film difficult to follow at times; however, this does not take away from the simple brilliance of Tarantino's first feature-film. In the opening scene we are introduced to a group of men in a diner, each with their own personal quirks and unique personalities. Steve Buscemi's character, "Mr.Pink", delivers a long rant about tipping at restaurants that sets the tone as one that is unusual, yet relatable in its own right. After the attempted bank robbery we are informed one of the men in the group is a police informant, but the mystery of who remains unclear. As the timeline jumps back and forth, we come to know more about each character and their backgrounds. With each character's connection to the ultimate heist revealed, it actually becomes more unclear who the informant is, for it seems any of them could potentially be the one.When the mystery is finally revealed, I was simply left speechless by the revelation of who the informant ultimately was. Tarantino's ability to provide clues throughout the film, while simultaneously distract the viewer from the answer that was evident all along, is truly intelligent writing. After watching the film a second time, I was able to notice more of the plot's subtle hints and clues, which made me appreciate the film to an even higher degree. I have watched all of Tarantino's films so far and I personally find this to be my favorite so far. I believe this film catapulted Tarantino into the brilliant storyteller that he is today. At the same time however, this film feels unique from his others in that it is simple and straightforward without the often unnecessary plot background. However at the at the same time, it is the film's unpredictability and realness that speaks volumes. While there is many scenes with violent acts and heavy dialogue, it never seems over the top or exaggerated. This is ultimately a timeless film, that I believe will continue to influence many films to come.

Reservoir Dogs was OK but unfortunately I don't have the desire to write much about the movie because I was distracted by something else. I was distracted by Quentin Tarantino's infatuation with the N-word. I've now seen Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, The Hateful 8 and Reservoir Dogs and there was abundant usage of the N-word in all of these movies. I guess you could give Django Unchained and The Hateful 8 a pass because they were period pieces. Tarantino can claim he was going for authenticity in those two. That leaves Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. In Pulp Fiction--however unnecessary--Jimmy was referring directly to a black man right there in the flesh (with the "dead n***** storage" line). In Reservoir Dogs, however, there was copious usage when there wasn't a black person around, nor were they even referencing a specific black person--it seemed wholly unnecessary and just a means to throw the word in there.I have no clue what Tarantino's deal is. Does he hate black people? Does he love black people and this is some peculiar artistic way of showing it? Or maybe his perception of white people is that they use the N-word whenever they have the opportunity to get away with it? I don't know, but because this was at least the fourth Tarantino movie with a superfluous usage of the N-word I couldn't ignore it.As I said about the actual movie; it was OK. It seemed more like a school project. The cinematography wasn't the best and the script was a bit too basic. Even if Tarantino didn't go HAM with the N-word I would've given this movie a 5/10 rating.
