First half generic, second half a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2020)

I was pretty disappointed that the movie was only a 7/10 more than one hour in, but that's when it takes a big turn away from the typical portrayal of consequences and moral dilemmas present in gangster movies and mob dramas. What takes place in 25 minutes in a typical movie, unravels beautifully in over an hour and the darkness takes you into a cold place. This movie is about how people use each other, and its also about friendship. It's beautiful.
