Bernard Zuel Sydney Morning Herald Apr 29, 2026
It's a funny, nasty, brutal, tense and invigorating film. Go to Full Review
Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly Jan 12, 2024
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. Go to Full Review
Joe Pollack St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oct 14, 2022
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. Go to Full Review
Jack Walters Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 18, 2025
4.5/5
"Quentin Tarantino’s feature debut Reservoir Dogs is an astounding single-location thriller that makes the most of its all-star cast and refined script." Go to Full Review
Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Jan 13, 2025
3.5/5
The film's biggest single problem is that the director learned so much from making it that he went on to keep making things that were better. Go to Full Review
John Brhel Vague Visages Jun 6, 2023
Reservoir Dogs is an impressive debut that reflects Tarantino's unique, postmodern style and points towards things to come. Go to Full Review

Ronnie Jan 16, 2026 The film looked absolutely incredible. See more
paul O @Paulo190408 Oct 10, 2026 Not much happens and it gets a tad boring. See more
Brendan K @Bkeller25 Oct 7, 2026 An absolute classic. It definitely feels more “constrained” compared to what would come later in his career, but it makes up for it due to strong characterization and dialogue. The twist is fantastic. I wouldn’t say it has as much “wow” factor nowadays (since a LOT of subsequent crime films copied it), but you definitely have to pay it upmost respect. Also doesn’t overstay its welcome like a few of his later films. See more
B P @Bradster69 Oct 3, 2026 Definitely Recommend It See more
Alex C @RT43842586 Sep 25, 2026 Loved shots, characters, flow of speech, but felt it needed something to make it matter. See more
R T @RT76801251 Sep 22, 2026 Fresh and fun movie. Isn't longer than it needs to be, very exciting too. See more
