Kelly's Doyle vividly interacts with his gangmates and almost gains their pity when his girl leaves him heart broken. Walken's grisly, guiltless Hickey lights up the screen. His hysterical raspy voice brings humor to an otherwise bloody movie. What is lacking, unfortunately, is plot. The movie simply revolves around gunshots, fights and more gunshots.
Characters are swift and rugged, but no one ever knows why everyone hates each other so much.
The movie is worth the watch for the action alone. You may not reproduce the contents of this paper in any shape or form without the express written consent of The Cavalier Daily .
