"I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get." A movie about gangsters is the last place where you would expect to see a sociopath. However Quentin Tarantino's debut as a director in Reservoir Dogs showed us one of the most sick and disturbed psychos at the time. Vic Vega looks like he could be a normal guy, even as s criminal he doesn't seem to look like nothing more than a professional, and after spending many years in jail for his boss, said idea seems reinforced. However, after the audience realizes that robbery in which he was going to take part in went horribly wrong by his own fault, you realize something must not be right in his head. A sociopath that didn't thoguht it twice when it came to torturing a cop for fun, Vic Vega is one of the greatest characters ever written by Tarantino. He's charming, likeable and Michael Madsen gives the character a big presence in the room whenever he's in the scene. And while we never saw too much of him, what we did was enough to make us feel fear and respect for him.
