Two feature films by Quentin Tarantino are coming to the Amazon Prime Video platform today!
Attention Quentin Tarantino fans. The Amazon Prime Video platform is adding two essentials in the American director’s filmography to its catalog today! And not least, since the first of the two is none other than Reservoir Dogs, the film that revealed him to the public eye.
Made in 1992, this unacknowledged remake of the Hong Kong thriller City on Fire depicts a bank robbery story that turns sour when the thugs are surprised by police forces who do not hesitate to open fire.
From this first feature film, Tarantino’s touch has allowed this low-budget film to stand out, both thanks to its hard-hitting dialogues, its cast and its anthology soundtrack, but also for its “deconstructed” plot, the film not being told in chronological order but in a totally assumed (and mastered) narrative disorder.
The other feature film offered by Amazon Prime Video is Boulevard de la mort, released in 2007. This film was directed by Quentin Tarantino in association with his filmmaker friend Robert Rodriguez in order to put the double programs of the 70s, offering the public the opportunity to attend the screening of two films, most often series B or Z with their share of hemoglobin and nudity.
A project surely too ambitious for the two friends, since Boulevard de la Mort is still considered today as a failure in the career of QT. The fact remains that this film following the story of a serial-killer stunt pilot (played by Kurt Russell) deserves to be rehabilitated, in particular for its simply exceptional female cast: Rosario Dawson, Rose McGowan, Mary Elizabeth Winstead or Zoe Bell again.
It is therefore two Quentin Tarantino films for the price of one that are offered today by the Amazon Prime Video platform, and both of them largely deserve to be (re) seen that we whether or not an aficionado of the cult filmmaker!
