    Ignore the 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

    Let Down!

    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.

    Misleading Trailer

    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.

    Well its not Bridgerton

    It captured the essence of the city better than other movies and I enjoy that. Most movies set in Philly spend time at City Hall etc - where we bring tourists. I can't imagine Matthias Schoenaerts in a car chase - he is more Michael Corleone than Pacino.

    Sure its was a slow burn but it was more realistic than most crime movies.

    The story isn't original but the resolution at the end is more true to life.

    I've wasted 2 hours on worse films

    Not bad, just really not good

    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.
