extremely good movie, well performed and directed

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2011)

the subtlety of the romance and the sublimity of being a man with a big heart in this film is simply superb. goslin is one of the best actors that would keep Hollywood survive from going down the drain. this movie also reminded me of another old film, "the driver", played by ryan o'neil, but goslin surpassed o'neil in every possible phase. both movies are dark and pressure-cooked without too much noise; both characters are similar, a loner without too much communication with other people, a person with some bottom-line principles and decency, a cool and tough cookie, never compromised, backup or back out any situation when his mind has set. both got fearless persona, facing danger with numb nerves. the subtle romance also very deep and not like the usual commercialized Hollywood format. there were slow moments on and off but never felt they shouldn't be. a great and rarely beautiful film.
