Reservoir Dogs - Limited Steelbook Edition (4K Ultra HD) (+ Blu-ray)

Product Information

Another thing, used earlier, but NEVER on such scale, was to take low life characters and make them have really elaborated conversations on all kind of unexpected topics. And it worked BIG TIME.

Quentin Tarantino may have made bigger movies and he may have made (technically) better movies, but will we be celebrating the 30th anniversaries of The Hateful Eight or Django Unchained with quite the same reverence or affection? Unlikely, but until we find that out this excellent edition serves to remind us how vital Reservoir Dogs and Quentin Tarantino were/are to the movie industry and, more importantly, that the 30th anniversary of Pulp Fiction is only two years away… Vis a vis nothing in particular other than the way menus are designed, I don't think Lionsgate has done itself any favors on the audio menus par, and fans of the film will probably be chomping at the bit to see if Lionsgate has upped the ante with this release.

Most all are familiar with this film and have discussed its storyline, music, acting, directing and everything else...so I won't. I will just review the transfer of this film to Blu Ray. If you're a Tarantino fan, this is one for you if you don't already have it. It firmly established him as a director while still early in his career and he has made many great movies since. Starring Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Quentin Tarantino, Chris Penn, Eddie Bunker, Lawrence Tierney, and Kirk Baltz. From this simple premise, however, Tarantino works wonders, elevating what could have been a conventional criminal tale into one with so much idiosyncratic style and originality that it couldn’t help but inspire and influence a whole generation of filmmakers who arrived in its wake. For a film debut, Reservoir Dogs is remarkable. Supremely confidant and self assured in its mould breaking risks, it often feels like the work of a veteran filmmaker as opposed to a kid from LA who hadn’t even hit his thirties. Rarely has there been such a self assured cinematic debut, where confidence can be found not just in the story being told, but far more importantly, in how that story is told. Reservoir Dogs has enjoyed an excellent 4K resoration and looks as bloody as ever. You can still see no more of the implied violence than you ever could, but the gruesome aftermath is crispier than ever. some of their 4K UHD releases that were shot on film). But both a beautifully saturated and vibrant palette and typically excellent fine detail levelsThis is an absolutely amazing, ground breaking film and I adored it! Below, more of my impressions, with some very limited SPOILERS. Let me stress, this is not a bad looking image, indeed it positively pops, and many might regard it as demo material, but to my eyes the slight simply state that Quentin Tarantino hasn't been especially shy (is he ever?) about discussing various films that inspired this one, including grace both presentations. Dolby Vision and/or HDR give some special punch (no pun intended) to some of the grisly reds and purples of things like

To that list (which I haven't even offered a complete version of here) I'd add the recently reviewed Symphony for a Massacre, at least in terms of a story which deconstructs the whole idea of there not Reservoir Dogs is a magnificent film: a violent, bloody, intense character study of criminals in the aftermath of a heist that went horribly wrong and turned into a bloodbath. Whilst director Quentin Tarantino’s influences are well known, his razor-sharp script and shooting style, demands attention and the film still feels fresh and new, and maintains its visceral impact 30 years later. discuss both formats simultaneously in my comments below. Also because there's no separate 1080 release I'm including 20 screenshots with thisfrom The Killers to Django (the latter film obviously inspired another Tarantino effort, at least vis a vis EXTRAS....Some fine deleted scenes and alternate takes of the ear cutting scene. Also a Criminal Minds type profiling of the members of the gang that I found psychologically interesting. From the old SD DVD, there was also included a 'Playing it Fast and Loose' Documentary and an interesting 'Pulp Factoids' extra that pops up little tidbits of info during the course of the film. I discovered this feature after I had finished watching the film. Next time I watch it, I will be sure to have it turned on.
