Reservoir Dogs is presented on 1080 Blu-ray and in 4K UHD (2160) courtesy of Lionsgate Films in 2.35:1. The first Blu-ray was actually again, though at least this time they've taken the commendable route of remastering both the 1080 and 2160 presentations. (Our first review of the Lionsgate are releasing Reservoir Dogs in a limited edition 4K steelbook on the 21st November. Any 4K release of a Tarantino film is an interesting proposition, as the director himself has professed a preference for watching films on VHS.

The 4K UHD version looks a bit warmer to me than the 1080 version, with slightly flushed flesh tones at times. Also, it may be that Vis a vis nothing in particular other than the way menus are designed, I don't think Lionsgate has done itself any favors on the audio menus The color coded names they use are of course Tarantino's tribute to the great 1974 thriller "Taking of Pelham 123". One of those six men is a traitor - and another one hides an even bigger, uglier, more horrible secret. For many of them this is the last day of their lives... Nothing more will be said. I'd also mention that Tarantino's well known fondness for "meta" elements is on display literally from the get go with this first feature of his, and

Another thing, used earlier, but NEVER on such scale, was to take low life characters and make them have really elaborated conversations on all kind of unexpected topics.

But this new UHD image looks fantastic while keeping its very filmic roots. There is no way this film has the digital car-washed-out look, which would make Tarantino lose his mind. The film grain is very much intact and heavy at times, which was the intended purpose and even the early source of this 1992 film. The color palette is warm, just like Tarantino intended. The browns, oranges, yellows, ambers, and somewhat warmer beige and grey walls look fantastic. The Dolby Vision enhancement makes those gushes of red blood really pop when they pour from orifices and stain the white button-down shirts. The practical makeup applications reveal pinks and purples for bruising very well too.

For all its zeitgeist quaking influence, however, how does Reservoir Dogs fare thirty years later, viewed at a time when its innovation and daring will no doubt feel more conventional? Thankfully, Reservoir Dogs has never been a film solely defined by its originality. Underneath all the hallmarks that would go on to define Tarantino and his career, it is a gripping story filled with, ugly, tragic, humorous and flawed characters. Reservoir Dogs has enjoyed an excellent 4K resoration and looks as bloody as ever. You can still see no more of the implied violence than you ever could, but the gruesome aftermath is crispier than ever. Quentin Tarantino may have made bigger movies and he may have made (technically) better movies, but will we be celebrating the 30th anniversaries of The Hateful Eight or Django Unchained with quite the same reverence or affection?
