    This movie kept me glued from beginning to end. Many turns and sub-plots, but not so many that it's hard to follow. Lots of period scenes that take you back to the Roaring 20s. The lead character reminded me of a British James Cagney. Yes, British. The lead and his two supporting characters are Brits. But the movie isn't, so it's still good. My only complaint is they don't have English subtitles (only Spanish) because since the 3 main characters are Brits, their accents are a little hard to understand. Recommended for gangster movie fans!
