I finally know where "Are you talking' to me" comes from

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2014)

I had no idea what I was in for when I started watching this film. A movie that seems part "The Professional" and part Noir, I was taken aback at how young Robert DeNiro was. The story itself is a good one: Man without a purpose finds it in the need to rescue an innocent. The innocent this time is a young Jodie Foster, who plays a child prostitute who just wants to go home to her family. The soundtrack is very "New York City" and adds to the overall tone of the film, and DeNiro shines in this role. The gore in the final shoot out is downplayed by the red lights of the final scene, forcing you to focus more on the action and intent. In all I was blown away by this fantastic piece of cinema.
