Very excellent gangster film with a great cast
I saw a censored version on the airplane so I may have missed some things. I found this film thouroughly enjoyable
It isn’t that bad. It is a bit grim and isn’t as good as it could it but it has a solid cast, and brutal action that keep you interested.
Very underrated film. Some great performances and scenes here.
Noir. Los Angeles. Mob vs clean cops. I loved it. Sucker for the genre. Insanely deep cast. Good team dynamic. Solid action sequences.
Absolutely amazing period piece. Anyone a fan of 50s-60s gangster films will love this.
A modern, entertaining gangster flick with a great cast.
Nice fast paced action film. Good action. Great era & cast. Perhaps the characters could've been developed more.
Amazing cast great Story really worth the watch
If you're into 1940's-1950's gangster films, you'll love this. Action packed, fast paced but a well told story. A heavy hitting film.
