Purely Joyful Movie!

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Much like creating a successful stew out of miscellaneous ingredients lying around the home, this modern film noir takes mostly much-used characters (alcoholic ex-cop, cold-blooded assassins, etc., etc.) from past films, stirs them into a pot, and comes up with an excellent dish, although it lacks fundamental originality. Still, speaking as a better-than-mediocre cook, I was quite impressed with the taste, and much enjoyed the meal. I really don't want to give anything away, because it's got some interesting flavors. Therefore, all I'm going to say is that this is a fine addition to the film noir genre, and if that's one of the things you're into, this will probably be satisfying treat, even if it misses scoring any Michelin stars. Bon appetit.

A great film largely by the character john Hawkes who grows on you as the story heats up.A really enjoyable film.

This was far better than I expected - didn't know what to expect. May be it has the usual ingredients but they all flow along nicely.I didn't know a single actor but so what - I enjoyed this movie. Not far out tarantesque but all the more credible for it.

Looks like reviewers have seen a lot of bad movies to think this movie is good. Wasted my time by trusting a 6.7 rating. What a load of rubbish
