Grade: 3.5 out of 5 (Very Good)
Rationale: It’s been over two years since I’ve seen this movie so I don’t feel like it’s fair to try and remember exactly what I liked or disliked. My grade was how I felt at the time of seeing it and I do recall thinking it was a solid choice for any top movie list, especially of the gangster/crime genre. Definitely one I’d watch again and I’d be particularly interested in seeing the longer cut of the movie that was released in Europe.
