Reservoir Dogs<\/a> <\/strong>was a gangster film that landed like a bombshell in the early 90s, making an instant star of writer-director Quentin Tarantino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The tale of a heist gone wrong it starred\u00a0Harvey Keitel<\/a>,\u00a0Tim Roth<\/a>,\u00a0Michael Madsen<\/a>,\u00a0Chris Penn<\/a>,\u00a0Steve Buscemi<\/a> and\u00a0Lawrence Tierney<\/a> as a gang of criminals struggling to find the traitor within their group.<\/p>\n

The innovative flashback structure, pop-culture laden dialogue, clever soundtrack and unnerving violence all marked it out as a major film of the decade even though it wasn’t initially a major success at the box office.<\/p>\n

It is being re-issued on DVD in the UK this week and I recently spoke to Ian Freer<\/a><\/strong> of Empire Magazine<\/a> about the film.<\/p>\n

We discussed various aspects, including the importance of Harvey Keitel in getting it made, its impact and how it compares to Tarantino’s other work.<\/p>\n
