Epic saga with grandiose portraits

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2000)

This is probably the best film I have ever seen. The tale of big-time crooks and a lone, obsessed police officer in pursuit, wears a mask of calm and quiet, with some striking portraits. When all hell breaks lose in downtown L.A., the characters get to show just what they are all about - obsessiveness, weariness and plain old doggedness. Beautiful and brilliant.
