The storyline of this movie is very simple: a gangster boss temporarily formed a team to rob a jewelry store, but unexpectedly a police undercover was mixed among these people, so these people were ambushed by the police, and the rest The team members fought each other because of mutual suspicion.

At the beginning, the protagonists wore black suits, black sunglasses, shiny leather shoes, cigarettes in their mouths, their hands in their trouser pockets, and walked slowly forward. You can see that these are the big guys. Each character is next followed by a close-up shot, with subtitles showing the names of the actors. But the key character Tim Roth's name is separated from others. The movie is wonderful, telling the audience through details that the so-called big men in front are just underdogs.

The subtitles in the title are not over yet, these underdogs are preparing to set off with great fanfare to complete some "feats", when suddenly the camera turns, a man covered in blood appears in the back seat of the car, screaming "I'm going to die", a pair of blood dripping He covered his wound with his hand, his eyes were full of fear, and his scream was full of despair.

This scene is shocking. How could the orange dog, who was so arrogant just now, change into the car in a blink of an eye, facing the test of life and death. That's one of the hallmarks of Quentin's films, where people can't guess what's going to happen next, and then suddenly give an unexpected surprise.

The inserted narrative allows people to have enough space for resemblance. The white dog asks how the pink dog escaped, so the film naturally cuts into the process of the pink dog escaping; the pink dog goes to the bathroom to go to the toilet, and the white dog smokes outside alone Waiting for him, the development of the story has a break in the plot and time, so the camera cuts to the paragraph of the white dog; the golden dog opens the trunk of the car to show off the policeman he caught to the white dog, and then the camera cuts to the paragraph of the golden dog. ; At the last moment, the orange dog used all his strength to kill the golden dog in surprise, but he had to wait for the big Boss to come because of the serious injury. At this time, a breakpoint appeared in the movie, so the paragraph of the orange dog was cut. All the cuts are perfect and just right.

    Quentin Virgo, the evaluation is quite high. The title is a dog in the water, but the plot is actually a dog biting a dog between a group of robbers. Basically Quentin's later queen team (including Quentin himself) all appeared in the movie. The main line of the whole play only takes place in a warehouse, but even playing claustrophobic Quentin is still easy to control. Through a film, you can establish your own creative style of work. I think this is what Quentin's awesomeness is! ~

    Simple things are complicated, and short films are typical of elongated films, but even so, it doesn't mean to inject water at all. Instead, it is full of small cleverness, small associations and minor tunes. I feel that Quentin in the early days watched movies very lightly, and his mentality to play is very valuable.
