Reservoir Dogs currently dominates Kill Bill: Vol. 2 70–30
The debut's economy outpaces the sequel's sprawl.
The Verdict Decade Duel
Reservoir Dogs operates on a budget Tarantino could have raised from a garage sale, and the constraint is its greatest asset. Every scene earns its place because there's no room for anything that doesn't. The warehouse becomes the entire world, the suits become costumes in a drama about trust, and Keitel's performance as the one professional who knows everything is falling apart holds the whole structure together. Kill Bill: Vol. 2 has ambition Dogs doesn't, but ambition without constraint produces the Superman monologue — interesting, indulgent, and exactly the kind of scene Dogs wouldn't allow. At 70 to 30, the voters who value economy outnumber those who value scope.
