Odd song choices

Rating: 5/10 (30 January 2020)

Gangster film set in 1960's England.
And we get all this funk/ soul music in the background. Odd choice.
The only conjecture I have as to why they chose the songs they did is that similar music has been successfully used in other crime/ gangster movies and they wanted to mimic that feel.
(Other than the club crooners) the music selection felt completely out of place and made the film feel contrived and hokey.
I know music is a small thing to nitpick on but to me it stuck out like a sore thumb.
