Tim Roth plays Mr. Orange in Reservoir Dogs, an undercover cop who has infiltrated a gang of thieves and spends most of the film bleeding out on the floor of a warehouse after a jewelry heist goes wrong. Quentin Tarantino directed this 1992 debut, which established his reputation for sharp dialogue, nonlinear storytelling, and sudden violence. The film keeps cutting away from the warehouse to show how Orange prepared for the job, memorizing a fake anecdote about a drug deal to win the trust of the criminals. Roth plays Orange as genuinely conflicted about the men he is betraying, particularly Harvey Keitel's Mr. White, who protects him even as the other survivors grow suspicious. The final scene puts Orange in an impossible position where telling the truth is the only decent thing to do and also the last thing he will ever do. His watch has not been identified.
