Ridley Scott's Under-appreciated Gem

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2015)

Compared to other movies by Scott, I believe this movie does not receive the credit it deserves. First of all, the movie features fantastic acting all around from Crowe, Washington, Brolin, and company. What I liked the most, however, was how the movie was directed. Ridley Scott's direction and the camera work is absolutely fantastic. I do not know how to describe it in words, but just the way each scene is portrayed through the lens makes the movie feel that much more lively and exciting. The running time is admittedly long, but I think most, if not all, would not mind that. Time will fly as you watch this modern crime classic.
