I am a big fan of Elmore Leonard novels. This is a very faithful adaptation. The movie is full of moral ambiguity which is a Leonard trademark. For those familiar with the work of Abel Ferrara this is real mainstream effort. This doesn't mean it is better than Bad Lt. or King of New York just more appealing to a larger market.
