With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
- If you count yourself among fans of mob stories and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street, this one's for you. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Shelve it next to The Public Enemy or GoodFellas.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1930: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Inspector Harry Cross is investigating a murder case with a knife throwing killer in the the seedy world of night clubs.
