Featured reviews
I've no idea why this has received such poor reviews, I thought it was very good. The acting was great all round and the photography is excellent.. if you like the films of James Gray then you'll probably like this.. worth a watch
This movie fell short when it could of been great. It was armed with a good story, actors and setting all lined up. Unfortunately, it just didn't formulate. The film started well then about half way in becomes dull. I just expected more, especially when it came to the ending. When all said and done this movie is was just ok.
Characters band together creating a mess. Story is hard to get into. Actors are mumbling and cussing. Sometimes the characters look the same. Like who is who? Scene jumps everywhere and the ending is just dark. I don't know what was the point. The film is short. Do not watch unless you want to purposely fall asleep.
Another east coast tough guy / mobster movie but with very little depth.
The acting is good for the most part. As is the filming.
It's just the plot and script takes you nowhere for way too long.

This movie is no where near as intense as the trailer makes it out to be at all. Both Joel Kinnaman and Matthias Schoenaerts who are incredible actors and do a great job in this movie. Unfortunately the story is very dull and doesn't really go anywhere.
