Orbert:
A lot of people don't care for Quentin Tarentino's movies. Despite all the violence, language, and tricks with presenting events out of chronological order, what they really come down to is character study. QT loves to create characters, then put them into situations that most people will never find themselves in, and see how they react. They are usually people with morals and values other than "the norm" but rarely without some admirable qualities. How will they act, what will they say? For me, it's the dialogue that keeps me glued to the screen.
Reservoir Dogs gets lumped in with the Action movies because it's QT, but there's very little action. It mostly happens off camera. So people looking for superkool action are usually disappointed. It's the characters that make that movie, but for a lot of people, that's just not enough. Where's the plot? Where's the Action?
Narr:
Exactly, his movies are all about the dialogue and character interaction. The plot was that they were going to steal stuff and they had an undercover cop with them. Seems pretty straightforward.

I've actually never seen it, I was just being smart. I have somehow ended up seeing every other Tarantino movie (barring the latest) and didn't enjoy any of them that much.
