Quentin Tarantino's flashy debut employs a novelistic structure to evoke the     aftermath of a failed jewelry heist. Lawrence Tierney plays an underworld        figure who recruits five criminals to stage a daring mid-afternoon robbery,      led by Harvey Keitel. Tarantino fuels the story with sharp, funny dialogue and allusions to many classic and obscure crime films. The movie was especially    influential in the low-budget indie world, where its style and attitude were   imitated endlessly. With Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen,    Quentin Tarantino---USA---1992---99 mins.
