nick s Some quirky story elements and snappy dialogue elevates this gangster movie. The story is a bit all over the place but it tries to deliver a message. Worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Steve D Fine but the ending is a letdown. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
