    ★★½

    Sort of stilted and weirdly paced and tedious, but you have to admire the vision.

  • The Long Good Friday

    The Long Good Friday

    ★★★★½

    Incredibly well-written story and dialogue, insanely good leading performances, bitching soundtrack, and one of the most gripping final scenes I've seen. Absolutely loved it.

    ★★★½

    I'm a big Robert Harris fan so I was predisposed to like this but it leaned a bit too hard on banal platitudes in a bid for emotional heft that it didn't quite earn. Looked great, though.

    ★★★

    Hard to enjoy because of how evil LASD gangs are in real life but pretty cool Heat-style action.
