With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and anyone who likes their action precise. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to On the Waterfront or Road to Perdition. Lean and efficient, like its main character.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1934: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A safecracker goes straight after doing a stretch for a bum rap. He agrees to do one last job for his "pals". He then flees from killers with a San Francisco fisherman's fiancee.
