I can't say enough good things about this film! This is more than your basic mob flick - it has intelligence, depth and morality.
The film is enveloped in various art mediums. The location of the film is visually spectacular; the Art Deco visage is full of opulent colors and shapes. The camera angles continue this dynamic. The score is impressive and matches the mood scene for scene.
The actors breathed life into the roles in which they were cast. The characters are engaging and complement each other. Each personality is so different from the next that you wouldn't think they had been written by one man. They are likable in their honestly - even the villain.
The storyline is simple and fairly straight forward - it doesn't twist, turn and double back on itself. But that isn't to imply that it is simplistic or predictable. Far from it! It is unexpected and refreshing.
