Very good movie, half crime half drama! Splendid plot, direction and acting! 12 years 8 months ago -

A really satisfying approach to storytelling, it feels like it's starting in the middle by Hollywood standards. Suspenseful yet unhurried, much like the jazz score that accompanies it. 9 years 6 months ago
