The best crime thriller since the great days of film-noir

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2001)

I watched this in a hotel room early in the morning after jet-lag woke me up. I sat on the end of the bed and started the film, intending to go out to the vending machine for a drink at some point. An hour later I managed to grab a glass of water, but otherwise I hardly moved.
Brilliant ensemble performances, twisty plot, blink and you'll miss it action. The final action scene is a little drawn out, but otherwise this film is close to perfect.
