Reservoir Dogs (1992)

  God, what a boring movie.  90 minutes of talking and 10 minutes of crying and bleeding.  Netflix was smoking some crack when it recommended this to me at 4 stars, no less!

Tarantino can really be a self-absorbed prick when he's given free reign.  Supposedly, this is about a failed diamond heist and the ensuing bloodbath but it's really just a bromance between Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) and his gutshot buddy, Mr. Orange (Tim Roth).

There are a couple of references to other Tarantino films, True Romance and Pulp Fiction, which I'm sure he thought was clever.

Honestly, the entire movie was lost on me, and the fact that it's cemented into popular culture is a tragedy.
