What a cast! I mean I only saw the two "players" on that are on the poster - but let me tell you ... there are a lot more great actors in this than one can count (and certainly more than most of us have fingers on their hands).
If we leave that aside for a moment - the movie will not be something for a wide crowd I reckon. While the main story is quite intriguing or at least seems that way, the overall structure is quite complex. A noire woven into a real life story - or the other way around, not sure what is more apt.
We follow a couple of people who are hired for an "easy" job. I mean do I have to say that it is anything but easy? I think not - anyone who has seen at least one thriller will be aware that there is more to it than meets the eye. There is also more to the characters and their connections ... something that may be irritating to at least some viewers. Maybe as irritating as the crosses, double and triple crosses are ... yes you are not wrong to look over your shoulder there ... or there for that matter.
And even when we get introduced to characters we only have heard by name - the fact that really good actors play those roles gives the movie and the experience watching it quite the boost. An interesting movie that would have worked quite nicely in a cinema - a nice throwback - and one very well made.
