Still Waters Run Deep!!

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2011)

This film just kept on surprising me. At first I thought it was trying to be cooler than it was, and I was annoyed. Then I thought it was trying to be cleverer than it was, and I was annoyed....
Then BaMMM it turned out that it was a truly well executed intelligent and cool movie. I underestimated it just like many do with "no name" and you'll see how that works out for them...
Fantastic.
Poor reviews may be down to people missing the core reason for the turning point(s). The film does explain this to you clearly, but in contextual dialogue. There's no lengthy exposition from a character only there to join the dots. Those familiar with noir/double cross/and "the patsy" can easily understand what's going on.
These guys are in a need to know situation and when it hits the fan your asking the same question they are - you're involved not just a passive observer. It's been a while since I've gone from thinking "who the **** does this guy think he is?" to genuinely giving a **** about their outcome - all in an economical hour and forty minutes.
Again fantastic.
