What Parents Need to Know
About Reservoir Dogs
Parents need to know that this is a film that focuses on a group of jewel thieves in the aftermath of a botched robbery. The dialogue features a constant stream of obscenities as the characters verbally spar with each other. Copious amounts of blood are featured throughout the entire film as a character is shown bleeding to death. Another character is tortured by being tied to a chair, having his ear cut off with a knife, and having gasoline poured over him with the intention of setting him on fire. The final shootout among the thieves is tense, emotional, and bloody.

- Families can talk about the violence and language here. Would the story have been as powerful if it had been less explicit? Do you think the mature material makes it more appealing to younger audiences?

Its a Great Movie! But not for kid's.
Awesome Movie! One of Tarintino's best films, in my opinion. This is, however, EXTREMELY VIOLENT. A cop is tortured and his ear is cut off. There are also quite a few graphic shootings as well.

EXCELLENT FILM, but don't let a kid under 14 near this...
A bank heist goes extremely wrong in Quentin Tarantino's amazing debut. This is very typical Tarantino, so kids under 13 should NEVER see this movie until they reach that age. Common Sense was wrong - there actually is some sexual content. The first lines of the film are a very crude (and hilarious) discussion about what the Madonna song "Like A Virgin" is about. As typical Tarantino goes, there are about 8 f-bombs in that scene...and it's only about a minute long! In total there are 252 f-bombs in 99 minutes, making this film have as many f-bombs as The Big Lebowski and Pulp Fiction (also by Tarantino). Also, Reservoir Dogs has extreme amounts of blood. Again, this is typical Tarantino. The most disturbing scene involves the torture of a police officer. Other than that, there are lots of bloody shootouts, but need I remind you that this is typical Tarantino? Overall, Reservoir Dogs is an excellent film. But if your kid wants to watch it...don't let them. (That is, if they're under 14.) Older teenagers will really, really like this film.

Definitely Not For Younger Teens And Under; Maybe For Older Teens
I have never seen the movie, but before the page was blocked, I read the entire final copy of the screenplay. The most innappropriate thing about it is the F-bomb is dropped by Mr. Pink 500+ times--the most famous line is, "Why the f--k do I have to be Mr. Pink?!". The most mild thing about it is bloody and gory gunfights. Although the plot wasn't good, it was actually a pretty good screenplay, though I don't know about the actual film itself!

very very profane and violent
reservoir dogs is one of the best crime movies ever still to this day few films hold a candal to this film those are american gangster scarface and the first to gadfather's. the film has a simple concept a bunch of strangers whose code names are still famous such as mr pink they try to pull of a perfect jewel heist which turns into a bloody mess then they realize one of them is a undercover cop then they try to find out who. the clever dialogue and story full of clever twists and turns was the begining of a long career full of classic's. as for this film grade a-

If you've seen a Quentin Tarantino, then you'll know what to expect
It's an excellent movie, but not for kids. There are at least over 200 uses of the f-word in it and there is ton's of bloody violence including a disturbing brutal torture sequance.

- I rate this title on for age 12 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate language
No sexual content aside from some dialogue at the very beginning of the movie. There is plenty of profanity and it is violent, but not as violent as everybody says it is. Anyone 12 and up should be fine.

Another Brilliant Tarantino Film for 18 and Older

An Amazing Movie!
This is a classic film, Quentin Tarantino's masterpeice is a bit intese but I saw a few months ago and it didn't bother me. The gore is realistic, but not over the top. The swearing made sence to me (If I were in the situations in the film I would be fraeking out) The sexual conent is a bit iffy, there is a few very graphic conversations (one about the song "Like a Virgin") but the violence is not gloified by any means, the swearing is basically justified (minus the racism) and the sexual content is just iffy. Overall I would give it a PG-13

Short but Sweet
I saw the movie for the first time yesterday and felt that I needed to write a review. It's a good movie that has been fit into 1hr 30min with the plot being explained indirectly. There is an immense amount of blood due to the aftermath of the "heist". A police officer's ear is cut off and can be seen quite visually. Frequent uses of the F-word are also present in different variations. Not the best movie to watch with younger people. But one of Tarantino's best.

Great Movie, Not for My Age Group
I must say, this was one of the greatest films ever.It did leave me with some burning questions, though. What happened to Mr. Blue and Mr. Brown? Where did Mr. Pink hide the diamonds? What actually happened at the heist? I think if you love Quentin Tarantino, this is a must see. Probably not for under 17. EXTREME gore and language.

This is GOOD?!
This movie is really absolute garbage. It drags on forever because about 30 minutes into the movie you KNOW who the cop is and you're just waiting for everybody else to figure it out (which turns out to be one person because everybody else is DEAD) so it's really just a good way to waste 1.5 hours listening to the F-word and seeing loads of gore.

Tarintino at his best
This film is truly amazing. I absolutely loved it. The acting, the WRITING, the directing, everything made Quinten Tarintino's first movie, one of his best. Parents need to know that this movie is over-the-top violent. There is one scene where one of the criminals tortures a cop and cuts his ear off. Also almost every other line has some kind of swear word. I loved it. I recommend it to mature 13 year olds and up. No one younger.
