Reservoir Dogs (1992) 18

Introducing new late screenings at the Lexi - Lexi’s Midnight Runners - a monthly cult movie screening for the night owls of NW10. We know 90% of the Lexi audience arrive on foot, but how many of you live close enough to turn up in your pyjamas? This is a bit of an experiment, so if you like the idea, buy a ticket and we’ll keep this going!

Tickets £7 / £5 members

Quentin Tarantino’s supremely confident debut feature blistered onto cinema screens with his trademark operatic violence in 1992. The aftermath of a botched diamond heist finds the surviving robbers, Mr White, Mr Orange, Mr Blonde, and Mr Pink bickering in a warehouse while they wait for the arrival of Nice Guy Eddie. One of them may be a rat, and the sadistic Mr Blonde is left alone to play with an unlucky cop. Compared to the overlong Django Unchained and the even more ponderous Hateful Eight, Reservoir Dogs is a lean 97 minutes of low budget action from a filmmaker who has gone on to become one of the world’s most feted and controversial auteurs.
