Reservoir Dogs (1992) Director: Quentin Tarantino
Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Lawrence Tierney, Michael Madsen, Tarantino
Six criminals with pseudonyms, and each strangers to one another, are hired to carry out a robbery. The heist is ambushed by police and the gang are forced to shoot their way out. At their warehouse rendezvous, the survivors, realising that they were set up, try to find the traitor in their midst. It's still an excellent watch. Packs a hardcore punch. Great characters, tight storyline, minimal set design and fancy shit, very Shakespearean in its drama.
“Reservoir Dogs” laid out the groundwork for future Tarantino films in what sets his directing style apart from other filmmakers. One aspect being his iconic non-linear style of storytelling. The film jumps backwards and forwards in time.

Assault on Precinct 13- 1976 Dir. John Carpenter
Darwin Joston, Austin Stoker, Laurie Zimmer
When the LAPD kills several members of the South Central gang Street Thunder, the remaining members avenge themselves by way of a bloody war waged against cops and citizens alike. Caught in the crossfire is Lt. Ethan Bishop (Austin Stoker), who's managing a skeleton crew at the local and soon-to-be-closed police precinct. As the gang members close in, Bishop forms an unlikely alliance with a group of prisoners in order to defend the station and the lives of everyone in it.
This movie rushes from start to finish, not unlike, Romero's earlier, 'Night of the Living Dead'. The compelling tale with its relentless violence is told excitingly with an excellent and believable cast. Darwin Joston is outstanding as the good baddie and Laurie Zimmer is also excellent and as for the simmering sexuality between them, wow! At first we see her as some gentile police station secretary as she goes about making the coffee and she ends up as hard nosed as any femme fatale. With all the crash bang wallop of the horrendous goings on Carpenter still allows time for little things such as when Joston praises Zimmer for her shooting and says, 'You're good.' She looks up at him with her shining eyes and says, 'Not always.'
