Reservoir Dogs

Reservoir Dogs is a 1992 crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, marking his feature-length directorial debut. The film follows a group of criminals who are brought together to execute a diamond heist, but things quickly go awry, leading to suspicion and betrayal among the group.

The story is primarily set in a warehouse where the criminals, each using color-coded aliases to conceal their identities, convene after the heist to figure out what went wrong and who among them might be an undercover cop. As tensions rise and suspicions mount, the characters' true natures are revealed, leading to violence and unexpected twists.

The film is known for its nonlinear narrative structure, with events presented out of chronological order, and its use of dialogue, pop culture references, and memorable characters. Despite its limited budget and relatively small scale, "Reservoir Dogs" garnered critical acclaim for its stylish direction, sharp writing, and strong performances from its ensemble cast, which includes Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, and Tarantino himself. It has since become a cult classic and a landmark in independent cinema.
