Review:
After an organized armed robbery takes plays at a diamond warehouse. Six fellows who didn't know each other previously were assembled by the mysterious Joe Cabot and they all go by code names (Mr. Pink, Mr. Orange...etc, borrowed from the original The Taking of Pelham One Two Three). Something is obviously wrong when nearly immediately the Police show up and start shooting...there must be a rat among them but who? When they reassemble they try to sniff out the responsible party things start to get messier. It's very stylish, the dialog is definitely clever typical Tarrantino, some of his finest work really. The story is also rather intelligent and intriguing and let's not forget the memorable violence in this...it's a definite charmer. The characters created here are top notch and even the music is perfect, definitely see this if you haven't already, I doubt you'll regret it!
