This is one of the best crime films I have seen in a couple of years. The mood is sustained, the dialogue is crisp and to the point, and the acting is of the highest caliber! I cannot fault this film on any count except that part of the ending was so unexpected that I am still wondering if I have figured it out. However, all the other parts of the puzzle make perfect sense and I thoroughly enjoyed being led by the nose through this maze. I recommend it to anybody who likes good writing, great acting, and a sustained dark tone that has bright spots in unforeseeable places.
