Taking you straight to Cold War´s Soviet Union - and how similar to Putin´s New Russia. I watched this movie way back in the 80s, loved it, saw it again, and: Loved it again! Cool story with a lot of KGB twists, interesting conflict between "good" and "bad" cops and agents, the desperate will of youths to get out of the Gulag Soviet Union ... Some questions remain, though: How could a New York Cop travel to the USSR, and…
Good cop with bad habits, bad super gangster with good habits … First, a bit confusing, then the story straightens out … and a nerve-wrecking, thrilling showdown. What a great ride - with a few very brutal scenes.
Straight story, unusually uncomlicated for a Nolan movie.
Technically perfect, as usual for a Nolan movie.
Pretty serious, not very humorous - as usual for a Nolan movie.
As I am not an action film aficionado, nor a super heroe fan, this has however been a quite good viewing experience.
Underestimated and underappreciated as compared to Leone‘s „Once upon a time ...“ movies, and with a similar underlying melancholy. Good story about loyalty, betrayal, forgiving - and about friendship.
