So me and my brother (who is a serious movie buff like me, a bit more technical tho) decided to start watching Quentin Tarantino Movies because we were supposed to watch pulp fiction and he watched it without me and loved it! Anyway he's like let's watch this movie and I'm like ok, sure thing.
A little history lesson about the movie:
1. It came out in 1992
2. It's director Quentin Tarantino's first major motion picture.
3. It stars Tim Roth in his first major American motion picture.
4. The film contains 272 uses of the word "fuck".
5. The film had critical acclaim, high ratings and awesome reviews but it wasn't nominated for any major awards except sundance!
6. George Clooney was turned down for a role (remember he was relatively unknown at the time)
I know most people would have seen this movie but it still is an awesome watch. Tarantino created his trademark dialogue and gore and continued using this theme throughout his career.
Plot summary:
Joe Cabot, a small-time crime boss, assembles five strangers with reputations as good thieves to steal a lot diamonds. When the police arrive at the scene before the burglars can even make their getaway, it becomes apparent that one of them is an undercover police officer.
The movie stars movie legends such as Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Tarantino, Chris Penn. Fun fact about this movie, there are no Women!!
Relatively simple story, awesome twist at the end. This movie was the beginning of Tarantino's career and his continuous rise.
