After watching it, I have a newfound appreciation for Joaquin Phoenix. Overall, this movie is fairly violent with some great action scenes.

This movie had an excellent story line. It does have some violence and bad language in it but it is a good movie. Definitely worth watching. I enjoyed this movie. Joaquin Phoenix does his usual excellent job of acting. Probably not the best Gangster movie ever mad but it is definitely enjoyable. I give this one 5 stars! Worth the time it takes to watch! Must See! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This was a good story with really good performances I would have rated it higher, but it was marred by a totally gratuitous masturbation scene and excessive use of the f-word, which went far beyond what was required to create authenticity. It's too bad the filmmakers found it necessary to degrade its audience. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This move was great, with a great cast, but the terrible language during the whole movie ruined it for me. I watched it with a clearplay dvd player and took out the language and nudity. So I'm not sure how many scenes I missed, but there were several pauses in dialogue because of the bad language being silenced out. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
