A great, overlooked small film.
Some critics ragged on this movie because it doesn’t have any unpredictable twists and turns. I say that is part of what makes it work. It is a straightforward cops & criminals movie that is more about terrific acting and realistic setting than anything else.
I always take an interest in a movie set in New York’s “Outer Boroughs” and this is one of the few that really nails it. The clothes, the furniture, the attitude. This movie is the anti-Guide To Recognizing Your Saints.
This movie won’t change your life, but it is worth checking out.
