Act Accordingly

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2006)

"When I was your age, they would say you could become cops or criminals. What I'm saying is this: When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?" If there is one bit of dialog that encapsulates what this movie is all about, it's this snippet that appears very early in the film. This movie is beyond great. It is the work of a master storyteller in complete control of his craft. While the excesses of the violence may turn off some (I heard more than a few gasps during the final 20 minutes alone), it shouldn't sway you from soaking in the film. Because if you just focus on that, you're cheating yourselves out of one of the most rewarding film experiences I've had in at least 10 years. I challenge anyone to walk out of this movie and not have it swirling around in your head for hours afterwards.
