The problem with re-working a classic, is that it is extremely hard to “beat” what the original film achieved. People go in expecting to see ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and they suddenly realise they are not going to see the movie they are seeing a PLAY.
Stupid i know, i woulda thought that would be obvious but whatever…
But if it is directed well, and is given a new spin (what’s the point of seeing the same thing again?? Just like any Shakespeare play, each time it is performed it is different to the last), it could work extremely well.
I saw a production of it, it was a bunch of east-end London thugs. I quite liked it, but then again i didn’t go in thinking “reservoir Dogs : The movie” i went in with an open mind…
