Over-rated

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2013)

Pros: i) A few really smart lines here and there ii) Excellent acting
Cons: i) The only way the guy found to "rebel", was through boxing and sex. Nothing good, just release.
ii) The movie doesn't give you a good break once in a while - it's dark throughout, and portrays men as either inherently violent leaders, or inherently violent soldiers. The protagonist is a very limited personality, only one in a hundred thousand could identify even by half. An over-inflated ego that finds his alter ego as a "charming, highly sexual gangster". Big ... deal.
Conclusion: if you hate your corporate office and your IKEA furniture, you can move to Alabama or North Dakota, no need to become a gangster.
