Very Well Done

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2013)

I can't add more description of the story line that you won't find elsewhere, so I just wanted to add some unique points.
I've never seen a movie with a soundtrack more massive, diverse, or effective. I would put it over Goodfellas (yeah, I GET it; your setting a TIMELINE.) Even, when it's corny it works. Whomever's responsible for this is brilliant.
Kim Coates and Liev Schreiber's characters aren't just well done, they come out of the screen.
There is a Bob Eucker-esque character that adds nicely to the laughs and fattens up the setting.
Jay Baruchel's character has taken enough beating, but I've yet to find a flat note in any scene or acting. Ricky Mabe plays the most obvious caricature, but he owns it and works it to great effect.
If you have any sympathy for the genre, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
