Quentin Tarantino (director of Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & 2, Inglourious Basterds) made his directorial debut in 1992 with Reservoir Dogs. Viewed as one of the greatest independent films of all time, if not the greatest, Reservoir Dogs has become a cult film in recent years. Featuring a large cast of well-known actors, like most Tarantino films, Reservoir Dogs tells the story of a botched diamond heist and the events that surround it. Six criminals, all given color-based nicknames, work for professional criminal Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) in planning a robbery. Over the course of the film, you learn a great deal about the character of each criminal, whether it’s Mr. White’s (Harvey Keitel) real name, Mr. Pink’s (Steve Buscemi) tendency to not tip waiters or waitresses, Mr. Blonde’s (Michael Madsen) questionable sanity, or Mr. Orange’s (Tim Roth) involvement with the police. Through all these endeavors, the criminals learn a great deal about themselves, and even more about each other.
