Tarantino, and Edward Bunker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bunker) , as diamond thieves whose planned heist of a jewelry store goes terribly wrong. The film depicts the events before and after the heist. Kirk Baltz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Baltz) , Randy Brooks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Brooks_(actor)) and Steven Wright (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Wright) also play supporting roles. It incorporates many motifs that have become Tarantinos hallmarks: violent crime, pop culture references, profanity, and nonlinear storytelling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_storytelling) .
The film is regarded as a classic of independent film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_film) and a cult film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film) ,[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_Dogs#cite_note-3) and was named Greatest Independent Film of all Time by Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_(film_magazine)) . Although controversial for its depictions of violence and use of profanity, Reservoir Dogs was generally well received, with the cast being praised by many critics. Despite not being heavily promoted during its theatrical run, the film became a modest success in the United States after grossing $2.8 million against its $1.2 million budget, and was more successful in the United Kingdom, grossing nearly £ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_sterling) 6.5 million. It achieved higher popularity after the success of Tarantinos next film, Pulp Fiction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction) (1994). A soundtrack was released featuring songs used in the film, which are mostly from the 1970s. Reservoir Dogs (1992)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yWUXTOeK7fM/mqdefault.jpg)
