These guys that hardly know each other rob a diamond wholesaler...a bank? I wasn't sure, but they end up hiding in this warehouse, after one of their guys gets shotand lies there bleeding all movie long. They have a patrolman hostage and somebody cuts his ear off while enjoying 70s radio and... I know that's not it... Betsy, you'd like "Jackie Brown," maybe...it's QT mixed with Elmore Leonard.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I adore Reservoir Dogs. I'm not sure how I'd describe it to sell it -- it's criminal, stylish, bloody.
And I'm most pointedly not a QT fan. Aside from RD and Jackie Brown I find him navel-gazing and smug.

eta Gives a whole new meaning to the term "earworm".

I always think of Resevoir Dogs as a Greek tragedy. If you ignore the flashbacks and flourishes, it certainly has the Aristotelian unities. Plus, lots of loyalty issues. And lots of blood.

I always think of Resevoir Dogs as a Greek tragedy.
I think it is what happens when you throw red socks, Akira Kurosawa, and the Mod Squad into a dryer and set it on High.
