Wow! Subtle and Strong

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2019)

For me, crime films have no middle ground. They're either great or they're a waste of time. This film is unexpectedly great. I did not think it would meet my standards based on the middling ratings. Outstanding acting - maybe Pacino and Depp's best - plus outstanding script and masterful direction. Pacino's character is fascinating, a made-guy who turns out to be a wannabe, and he gives it everything in his massive toolbox. Strongly recommended.
