Tarantino’s Heist Film Influences: The Killing vs. Reservoir Dogs

Quentin Tarantino's Directorial Debut, Reservoir Dogs, Is Not Just A Masterclass In Dialogue And Stylized Violence—It’s Also A Love Letter To Stanley Kubrick’s 1956 Heist Film, The Killing. Who Knew A Movie About A Robbery Could Lead To So Much Cinema Drama?

Tarantino Has Declared The Killing As One Of The Most Influential Films In His Life, Calling It His “Killing” Take On The Heist Genre. Sorry, Does This Mean We Get Extra Points For Creativity By Naming Our Own Movies After Other Movies? How Many "Killing" Titles Can We Have?

The Unique Storytelling Of The Killing Made Waves In The '50s With Its Nonlinear Format And Different Perspectives. Forget A Straightforward Plot; This Film Jumped Through Time Faster Than A Time-Traveling Kangaroo, Keeping Audiences Guessing. Will Tarantino Keep The Time-Traveling Trend Alive, Or Is He Switching Gears?

Released In 1992, Reservoir Dogs Featured A Star-Studded Cast Including Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, And Steve Buscemi, Who Brought A Diamond Heist To Life With Hilariously Chaotic Results. While The Film's Sharply Crafted Violence And Language Made Headlines, Critics Lauded The Stellar Performances—After All, It's Still A Heist Movie, Right? What Could Go Wrong?
