Reservoir Dogs is a crime thriller made in 1992. The
director is Quentin Tarantino who wrote and also stared in the film himself as
Mr. Brown. The film tells a story of six criminals who have never met, they are
brought together by crime boss, Joe Cabot. They are given fake names so as to
not get to close to each other and are then commanded to concentrate on a
simple jewellery heist. The heist goes terribly wrong after the police show up
exactly at the time of the heist, a shootout follows where police, civilians
and one of their own is killed. After the heist paranoia kicks in as the group
of criminals believe one of their own is a police informant.
