So I just rewatched Reservoir Dogs for the 4th or 5th time and never thought to ask myself why in the end, the undercover cop gives himself away. It just doesn't make sense.
Thoughts?
-
...But who shot Good Guy Eddie? [spoiler]No, I'm not being serious.[/spoiler]
-
I've only seen the bit where Skellig shoots the psychopath guy.

He owed it to Mr White, and also felt extremely guilty. He had kept up his cover and just watched everyone die because of it. And I mean everyone. I'm pretty sure that if you see a person in that movie, they die. Even with the cops, you only hear them.
-
Because he respected Mr. White and felt that he owed it to him. It was his fault that it was allowed to spiral down to everybody getting killed and he needed to clear his conscience.
-
I'm sorry but that movie is overrated.

Edited by SecondClass: 7/16/2013 12:30:09 AMHe gives himself away because he feels bad. Mr. White put himself on the line under the belief that Mr. Orange wasn't a cop.
-
He knows he's going to die anyway he doesn't give a shit anymore I guess.
-
He gives away his identity because he is talking to Marvin the cop, so that Marvin knows he has an ally.
-
When does he give himself away? He only reveals his identity to Marvin.
