I didn't understand a lot of the nuances and hints throughout the film until multiple rewatches. It's become one of my favorite films. Incredible acting and direction.

It's a smart thriller and I guess I wasn't expecting I had to be so engaged to catch all the story details first time through. On multiple other viewings I caught all the details that the director intended. Just wish the trio of actors could have worked on more legal thrillers. I'm a big fan of Grisham films and this tops all of those.

The story is obvious but the weightiness of it all just sits with you after watching the film. Not a light watch but one to enjoy if you're in the mood for thinking not just zoning out.

It is incredibly unbelievable at points but the entertainment factor is through the roof. The story keeps pushing forward at a fast pace but it has great dialogue, intriguing concept and great execution of it. If you suspend disbelief at points, it is incredibly satisfying.

The cinematography, atmosphere and directing is solid. Editing has some weak points.

I am a fan of mobster movies/shows but not the biggest fan. This plays on all the typical stereotypes of mobsters and cowboys in the South, biker gangs but the stereotypes and acting is believable. Don't watch for some kind of realistic mobster show.
