Synopsis:
Six perfect killers. One Perfect Crime. One a police informant.
When the bank heist goes bad, Mr.White and Mr.Orange return to the warehouse to wait for their colleagues. We're taken via flashback to the days leading up to this climactic event, seeing who these guys are and why they're here. As the gang members trickle into the warehouse, we learn more about what happened and what's going to happen next. The question then relies on the viewer and the actors pondering..Who is the police informant...Mr.White ? Mr.Orange ? Mr.Blue ? Mr.Brown ? Mr.Blonde ? Mr.Pink ? Their boss Joe Cabot ? Or the boss' son Nice Guy Eddie ?
Justin Whittaker's Review
This has to be one of the best movies/one of my favourite movies...it is probably Quentin Tarantino's best films and his first I might add. It contains much violence but also alot of that Tarantino humour which he has become famous. Very memorable comedy scenes such as the opening one where Mr. Brown discusses how the song "Like a Virgin" by Madonna is a metaphor for a guy with a big dick having sex with a slut or the shootout in which Mr. Pink retells how he gets away from the police or the final shootout at the end leaving you wondering...what happened to Mr. White, Mr. Orange and Mr. Pink?

Memorable Quotes
Mr.Pink: I don't tip.
Eddie: What do you mean you don't tip?
Mr.Pink: I don't believe in it. I don't tip cuz society tells me to, I'd tip if the really put forth that extra effort if they did something special
Mr.Blue: What's something special, taking you in the back and sucking your dick ?
Eddie: I'd go over 10% for that.
Mr.Pink: Why do i have to be Mr.Pink ?
Joe: Because you're a faggot!
Mr.Brown: Well Mr.Brown, that's a lil' close to "Mr.Shit."
Mr.Brown: Let me tell you what "Like a Virgin" is about...it's all about a girl who digs a guy with a big dick. The entire song is a metaphor for big dicks.
Marvin Nash (Police Officer): (after having ear slashed off and finding out police are waiting for Joe to show up) What the fuck are they waiting for ? This bastard slashes my face and cuts my ear off! I'm deformed, I'm fucking deformed!
Mr.Orange: FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! I'M FUCKIN DYING HERE. I'M FUCKIN DYING!
