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
- One for anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Leaves you with something to think about. Shelve it next to Point Blank or The Rock.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Ex-cop Vic Barron crossed the wrong mobsters; his wife and child were killed and he was scarred, framed, and imprisoned. On release, Vic has but one desire, revenge on still-hiding Tino Morelli.
