Reservoir Dogs was Quentin Tarrantino's first film. Frankly, I had never seen anything quite like it. A perfect element of dark comedy with the caper aspect and loads of graphic language and violence.
You could certainly make the case that Tarrantino's films glorify crime and criminals, but that's ok. After all it is just a movie. Its kind of like a modern take on the old westerns where the crooks were the heroes and sheriffs were the villains.
In the opening scene of Reservoir dogs, the coolness factor is at the top level. Here are all these convicts in custom suits walking in slow motion to a great song. The moment you see that, you know where the point of view is coming from. The story follows that incredible style through the entire film. Every scene is just filled with cool dialogue. One day after the next.
